Sustainable Design

“La Palma, a classic Sunshine Beach 1980s beach house, has been meticulously transformed by Tash Clark Architects.

For those who want ‘more is more’, there’s also architectural plans included with Building Approval, for a thoroughly considered, luxe, second dwelling on-site.

The sustainable design vision for the original home’s is a nod to the Sunshine Beach community, surf culture and architectural fabric of the early 80s, celebrating La Palma’s building form and its surfside design language.

With room for everyone – family, friends, guests and a multigenerational household – it’s an adaptable and inviting seaside haven suited to a joyful full house or as a quiet retreat encircled by curated, landscaped gardens.

Future residents and visitors will cherish the home’s incredible vibe and locale with the Sunshine Beach surf, village shops, cafés, restaurants and surf club a short amble around the corner.

From the moment you set foot on the ground floor’s soft, tactile, white micro cement flooring, the interior evokes a sensory experience that beckons you to kick off your shoes and relax.

Your gaze is naturally lifted to the textured panelled timber clad walls and ceilings, bespoke drapes, custom joinery detailing and captivating, organic-shaped, sculptural lighting. The material palette, hues, fittings and fixtures, harmoniously combine to promote a symphony of calm and comfort.

A lavish, triple-sized master bedroom and ensuite wing is embellished with wonderful natural light and garden connectivity from north, south and eastern aspects. Privately tucked away in the south-west corner is a cool, coastal bunk bedroom and all-white bathroom.

Solid Tasmanian oak stairs made by Sunshine Coast artisans feature precision shadow line craftmanship, three-way cut joins and 90-degree angled steps. They lead to the first floor where two additional, sizeable bedrooms, a third bathroom and charismatic living spaces are unveiled.

Referencing the simplicity and nostalgia of the 80s beach lifestyle is the open-plan kitchen and dining space which flows onto a Merbau timber decked, outdoor room, a popular destination for laid back summer meals and admiring sunsets.“
