Few settings feel as relaxing, charming and energizing at the same time as the famed Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia and this is where you find the gorgeous Sunshine Beach House designed by PopovBass. This is a contemporary home that completely embraces the coastal chic appeal of the neighborhood and the white sands along with surf become a part of the overall narrative. Waves seem just a stone’s throw away from the double-height living room that extends into the deck outside in a seamless fashion. With a double-story structure that also shapes the lovely deck, there is plenty of space to rest and rejuvenate here!

Beautiful kitchen and dining area of the Sunshine Beach House

It is the lower level that contains the living room, kitchen and dining space with blue and white dominating the setting. A stylish wooden staircase with dark blue added to it becomes the focal point of the living room while the décor feels understated and smart. Breezeblocks keep away the harsh coastal winds while proper protection from rain makes this the perfect ocean-side house that can take the rough weather along with the good times.

This upper level features a dark color tone externally as well, which is intended to make the house recede into the natural vegetation, respecting the views of both the neighbors and of passers-by on the beach. As a dominant characteristic of the design, the roof addresses the particular environmental considerations of this site.

  • Gallery Residence

    This project was a full renovation of a 1970’s ranch house. The original house was chopped into multiple small, disconnected spaces. In the nineties a large and awkwardly placed addition was built to capitalize on the lake view. FORWARD was tasked with trying to navigate the constraints of the existing condition along with negotiating the desires of the artist clients, one of whom wanted a contemporary minimal interior while the other, a collector, was more interested in the distinct rooms of the turn-of-the-century houses. The finished house is a series of discreet rooms that are continuously linked. The entry space acts as a gallery and has been widened to create a clear relationship to the addition. What had been the original house has now been divided into kitchen, a combined living/dining room, and an office/guest bedroom. In the bedroom wing, a new master was created out of two smaller existing bedrooms. The house acts as a container for the owner’s collections. It is contemporary, minimal and spatially open, but at the same time affords the distinction of traditional rooms.
