PROJECT SHOWCASE
Palm Cove Residence
A multi-level retreat created for a client relocating to Palm Cove, this home blends luxury, practicality and long-term accessibility. With abundant natural light, layered textures and spaces designed for visiting family, it delivers the perfect balance of comfort, functionality and coastal elegance.
Client Brief
The client wanted a luxurious, future-focused retirement home in Palm Cove — a place for relaxation, visiting family and long-term ease of living. What began as a simple custom home evolved into a large, multi-level residence with a strong emphasis on natural light, generous entertaining spaces and accessible design. The brief required a refined aesthetic that still carried the warmth of a coastal lifestyle.
Key Design Focuses
-
Multi-Level Functionality: A full basement level designed to house an extensive garage, later adapted to include the laundry and additional utility space.
-
Ageing-in-Place Features: Integration of a lift connecting the basement to the upper living levels for long-term accessibility.
-
Light-Filled Living: Alfresco and pool areas positioned to bounce light into key interior spaces throughout the day.
-
Textural Facade: A mix of materials and a statement upper-level planter overflowing with greenery to soften the scale and enhance street appeal.
-
Family Connection: Upper level planned to accommodate visiting family while keeping the clients’ private living areas calm and retreat-like.
Outcome
The Palm Cove Residence delivers a refined coastal home that blends luxury with thoughtful practicality. Layered textures, abundant natural light and seamless indoor–outdoor living create a relaxed yet elevated feel. Circulation is effortless thanks to the integrated lift, and every space is designed to support comfort, longevity and coastal living. The result is a home perfectly suited to retirement by the beach — generous, inviting and future-ready.
