With the current heatwave in full swing I was drawn to this cool and breezy holiday retreat in Palm Beach, on one of Sydney’s finest sandy beaches. The architects CM Studio designed the residence as a series of pavilions with bedrooms as separate private quarters and living, dining and kitchen as a public entity connected by open courtyards.
The high ceilings with their exposed structure plus numerous sliding glass doors and folding windows are ideal to keep the heat at bay and make the most of the views on this small plot. I love that they’ve kept the material palette to a minimum which makes the lush green of the surrounding palm trees stand out even more. It feels incredibly tranquil and calm – just what you need for a break from hectic city life in Sydney.

If you can’t get enough of holiday retreat head over to Silicon Valley for a beautiful remodel of a 1950ies modernist house or hang out virtually at the über cool Casa Cook here.
