Positioned on a headland of Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Surfside House is a sprawling, tactile retreat designed by Richard Cole Architecture. Embedded in its coastal setting, the home uses timber and neutral-toned stone to create a relaxed, beachy family home. The house reveals itself gradually, inviting you to explore its layered details and connections to place.
The kitchen is lofty but a textured wall of timber joinery adds warmth. At the heart of the space is the V-ZUG Gas Cooktop, featuring manual precision cooking and a black mirror glass finish. This is matched – and elevated – by the intelligent automated cooking of V-ZUG’s Combair and CombiSteamer V6000.
With such a pristine location by the ocean, Richard Cole Architecture has ensured that the home feels both open and connected to its location – while at the same time being protected from the elements with solid sandstone and slanted openings.
The laundry exudes lightness with white cabinets and soft green tiling. In here it’s all about sustainability and efficiency with V-ZUG’s AdoraWash and AdoraDry V6000. These advanced, energy-efficient appliances utilise heat-pump technology for intelligent and eco-friendly washing and drying.
“The black reflective finish of the V-ZUG appliances is beautiful: you can see the beach and the ocean reflected in the surfaces.” Richard Cole, Richard Cole Architecture
