Blue Lagoon Estate Residence

Set into the suburban context of Trinity Beach the house is carefully sited on an 800 m2 block within Blue Lagoon Residential Estate taking advantage of the views and the south-easterly breezes that enter the house across the lagoon.

The client, a couple seeking a cozy yet environment-responsive residence, desired a home that maximised its connection to the surrounding landscape. Expansive doors and louvre windows create a dynamic relationship between the interior spaces and the natural world outside, allowing the owners to feel constantly engaged with their surroundings.

The house is organized around a central courtyard, a luminous space where light filters through vines that drape the arbour spine, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. This courtyard serves as a private oasis, offering both shelter and tranquility. To the right, the master bedroom and study enjoy serene views of the pool garden and lagoon, while to the left, the combined living, dining, and kitchen areas are similarly oriented to embrace the outdoor environment.

In addition to serving as a personal retreat, the home was designed with flexibility in mind. A small one-bedroom apartment, located above the double garage, offers the option for extended guest stays or to capitalize on the thriving Airbnb market. This apartment overlooks the resort-style swimming pool and tennis courts nestled under large trees across the street, while ensuring the main residence maintains complete privacy.
