Our client’s vision for this original one-bedroom apartment was clear - to create a serene beachside retreat where they could relax, unwind, and enjoy uninterrupted views of Manly Beach. We delivered a tranquil, luxurious space where natural textures and high-quality craftsmanship blend in perfect harmony.

To achieve this, we specified a palette of natural and premium materials throughout the apartment. Honed Italian Titanium Travertine was selected for the kitchen benchtop and as a feature stone in the bathroom, bringing a timeless, organic feel to the interiors. The joinery was crafted from Blackbutt veneer, paired with Blackbutt timber flooring, adding warmth and depth to the spaces.

A bronze mirror splashback in the kitchen reflects the breathtaking ocean views back into the heart of the apartment, enhancing the sense of light and connection to the outdoors. V-joint walls and panelled ceilings introduce texture and subtle movement, creating a rich, layered interior.

On the external balcony, terracotta herringbone tiles provide not only a beautiful, tactile surface but also offer thermal benefits—capturing the warmth of the sun on crisp winter days for year-round comfort.

Every detail was considered, right down to the Rocky Road Bronze handles on the TV unit, making this coastal apartment not just a home, but a true sanctuary by the sea.
