The Retreat

This contemporary residence, designed in collaboration with Carnachan Architecture and Calley Homes, embodies a refined yet relaxed modern aesthetic grounded in natural materiality and thoughtful detail. Clean architectural lines and understated forms create a calm foundation, allowing the home’s raw, tactile elements to take centre stage.

PHOTOGRAPHER: BOUNDLESS VISION
BUILDER: CALLEY HOMES

Invisible Grey marble flows throughout the interiors, its depth enhanced by custom darker-toned veneer cabinetry in the kitchen and bespoke vanities. The careful contrast between soft and hard finishes, linens and cottons layered against stone slab tile floors and oak flooring, creates a balanced sensory experience. There is no carpet, instead, natural rugs define spaces while maintaining the integrity of the hard surfaces. Timber walls and ceilings in cedar, stained a soft light grey, offer warmth while evoking an instant patina, suggesting the character the timber will naturally develop over time. Subtle contrasts in furnishings blend seamlessly with the architecture, ensuring cohesion without visual noise. Custom headboards, beds, bedding, and cushions were thoughtfully selected for their raw, earthy materiality, reinforcing the home’s grounded and tactile quality. Every detail was considered in unison, guided by a clear overarching vision. Designed as a retreat for both holidaying and everyday living, the home offers multiple spaces to gather, unwind, and connect, supporting the rhythms of family life while maintaining a sense of calm, timeless sophistication.
