Embark on a journey of coastal elegance at Kawaii, a newly renovated family home just a stone’s throw from Narrabeen beach. This architectural gem seamlessly blends Japanese and modernist design influences, paying homage to the original structure. Positioned 100 meters from the shore, the north-facing aspect bathes the home in natural light, accentuated by coastal Australian native landscaping in the established garden.
The residence boasts a spacious and airy ambiance, with rooms flooded by natural light and a main living area featuring an impressive 3m+ ceiling height. Hardwood timber finishes grace the windows, doors, decking, pergola, and trims, while textured white cladding adds a touch of coastal charm. Floor-to-ceiling windows and large timber stacking doors seamlessly connect the kitchen and living spaces to the deck and backyard, creating a fluid indoor-outdoor experience.
Inside, a fireplace and joinery unit adorned with Japanese handmade tiles from Artedomus and Australian hardwood timber bring warmth and character. Bathrooms feature custom concrete vanities, floating timber shelving, and more Japanese handmade tiles. The kitchen showcases timber accents on the island, neutral cabinetry, and concealed appliances, including a large 6-burner Smeg stove and an all-in-one Zip tap.
Throughout the upper levels, Bremworth wool carpets and MCM House furnishings provide comfort and style. Each bedroom, outfitted with MCM House beds and linen, features ample storage, with large built-ins in secondary bedrooms and a spacious walk-in robe in the master. The backyard, adorned with coastal Australian natives, offers a tranquil escape, complemented by a convenient hot and cold outdoor shower, sauna, and skate ramp. Kawaii is not just a home; it’s a harmonious blend of design, comfort, and coastal serenity.
