Embracing the Contemporary with Indisputable Luxe

Designing an uber contemporary albeit understated elegant showpiece in the dress circle position of an exclusive enclave, was a rigorous exploration by renowned award-winning architect Trevor Reitsma, to articulate and integrate large spaces and structure into the natural environment.

A charismatic north-facing facade with slatted grilles, evokes real estate envy, has the serious cachet of a Noosa Heads’ address, and is mere minutes to Laguna Bay and the Noosa National Park.

Step inside. The eye immediately engages with endless polished concrete flooring and vaulted ceilings, some soaring through the void to the upper level. They show-off the light-drenched, numerous oversized living, dining and leisure spaces to the max, an ingenious statement of design, form, functionality yet laid-back ambience.

It’s impossible not to be distracted by banks of disappearing lanky floor-to-ceiling sliders on the eastern side. They coalesce seamlessly with the glistening aquamarine pool and the alfresco entertaining area. Thoughts of wonderful parties come to mind.

The custom-designed, capacious L-shaped kitchen with long stone-topped island bench and extension dining area, has the full complement of high-end appliances a walk-in pantry and window splashback looking out to the garden of bright red heliconias. It will undoubtedly impress those who channel the worldly Nigella Lawson or just prefer a casual barbeque.

Upstairs, the sumptuous king suite with high ceiling, louvres and wispy sheers, evokes a feeling of calm. It looks through the exterior slats to the pool, has an ensuite with charcoal wall and floor tiles, lustre feature, stone topped two-basin cabinetry, walk-in shower, separate toilet plus a walk-in robe. Two bedrooms have built-in robes, share a mocha tiled bathroom with bathtub and separate toilet. Central is a lounge maybe a teen’s hangout space.

Downstairs are two bedrooms. On the north side is a bedroom with an ensuite, retractable screen doors/separate entrance opening to a courtyard. In the west wing the bedroom has a built-in robe, and a bathroom is adjacent.

Along the hall is a laundry, also the media room with plentiful under-stair storage.

“This impeccably designed lair of luxe melds effortlessly with the surrounding green spaces,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Peter TeWhata.

“Nearby are myriad walking and cycle tracks, the recreational centre has a 22m solar-heated pool, gymnasium and tennis courts plus it’s so close to Noosa Main Beach, a championship golf course, shopping precincts and essential services.”

“A park is nearby, there are cycle and walking tracks around the estate, along Lake Weyba, through part of the Noosa National Park with its plethora of flora and fauna, and it’s just a 10-minute cycle to the Noosa Civic and Noosa Farmers’ Market.”
