Referencing sunshine destinations from Ibiza to Mexico, this Sydney beach house has to-die-for holiday vibes all year round

ETERNAL SUMMER

Can you think of a more heavenly holiday home than this piece of perfection by Australian design studio YSG? Yep, we're hard-pressed, too.

In lesser hands some of the details could tip into kitschy territory, but for Yasmine Ghoniem, the founder of the Sydney-based practice, it's these balancing-act ingredients that bring the space to life: think throwback terracotta-hued chequerboard tiling, quirky hand-painted decorative effects and Willow-ish pattern lamp bases. Somehow, thanks to Yasmine's magic touch, we want it all and we want it now.

Situated on one of Sydney's north beaches, the four-bed abode is the second home for a family of six. Its new incarnation references and subverts many coastal design signatures - from the Côte d'Azur and the Italian Riviera to Ibizan beach clubs and Mexican surf spots. Yasmine's nomadic childhood - spent between Australia, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia - feeds into her design inspo, which she also cites as 'travel and films... museums and galleries.'
