The San Remo house, located on the NSW Central Coast, underwent a full interior and exterior renovation to transform it into the ultimate beachside weekender. The original home, with its worn carpet, damaged floors, yellow and black walls, and impractical layout, was no longer fit for its intended purpose. The interiors were stripped back to the bare concrete and redesigned with warm timbers, featuring a modern kitchen with a striking 4m island that spans the home's depth, replacing the outdated front room. As the home is primarily for weekend relaxation and entertaining, the kitchen was designed to be the heart of the space. Exterior renovations involved excavating the steep backyard terrain to create a functional, low-maintenance area for outdoor enjoyment. While work is still ongoing, key features such as retaining walls, new turf, garden beds, a pergola, and a water feature have been completed. The final transformation of the backyard will complete this stunning beachside retreat—watch this space for the exciting finish!
