BAREFOOT LIVING The beachy ease of homeowners Lou and Kev’s escape, shared with their teenagers Archie, Olive, and Millie, reflects its coastal neighborhood on Sydney’s northern beaches. Guests are drawn outside, where the furniture is often rotated between the poolside and the courtyard. “These areas give us the flexibility we like,” says Lou. By-the-water lounging is delivered by the ‘Norfolk’ sofa from Smith made and a coffee table from Globe West (opposite), while a Smith made ‘Club’ tub chair in the courtyard (below) is a tonal match for sandstone sourced from Gosford Quarries.
Morning, afternoon or evening, bike riders expertly balance surfboards as they scoot past this family home located a stone’s throw from the waves on Sydney’s northern beaches. And on any given day in summer, you can bet that Lou and Kev’s house will be filled with the friends of their three teenagers, Archie, 19, Olive, 16, and Millie, 15. “It actually is a quiet house, with privacy from the busy street,” says
Lou. “But when the kids have friends over, they turn up in packs of 10 and make it a fun, loud house. There are sand and towels everywhere!”
