coastal glam

Designer Greg Natale has created an atypical and totally gorgeous beach house – one that makes luxe living relaxed

Perched on a clifftop overlooking one of the many beautiful bays that surround Sydney, this glamorous, ...grown-up family home is about as far from any traditional coastal clichés as you could get. No jaunty nautical stripes or beachy motifs here – just slick modernism dressed to impress with its uber-luxe interior.

‘This is an atypical beach house,’ agrees its designer Greg Natale. ‘That was the goal from the outset and we did it by not ignoring the location, but embracing it in a way that was perhaps a little unexpected. We are fortunate in Australia to have a lot of ocean-front living and so the design style can tend towards that minimal, Scandiinspired look,’ he says. ‘My clients wanted to have more personality in their interiors, so we steered it towards something we like to think is “coastal glam”.’
