Oceanbeach Road
Coastal Living, Redefined
A striking new build is taking shape on Oceanbeach Road, where contemporary design meets the raw beauty of the coast.
Designed by Mark Carnachan of Carnachan Architecture, this three-story beachside home pushes the boundaries of modern coastal living. Set on a compact yet challenging site, the design embraces its oceanfront surroundings with a bold, Melbourne-inspired aesthetic - featuring clean architectural lines, strong contrasts, and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
At the heart of this home is a thoughtfully crafted open-plan layout, designed to maximize natural light, ventilation, and breathtaking sea views. Expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing and oversized sliding doors create an effortless flow between the sleek interior and the outdoor entertaining spaces, ensuring an uninterrupted connection to the coastal landscape.
The material palette is a striking blend of raw concrete, dark timber cladding, and steel elements, delivering a sophisticated yet durable exterior that stands up to the coastal elements. Inside, rich textures and refined finishes - including polished concrete floors, bespoke cabinetry, and feature lighting - add depth and character to the space.
A floating staircase, custom-designed to enhance the home’s contemporary feel, leads to the upper level, where the master suite enjoys panoramic ocean views and a private balcony. Additional bedrooms and living areas have been strategically placed to balance privacy with open, communal spaces, making this home ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.
With construction well underway, this project is set to redefine modern beachside living. Stay tuned as Monohomes brings this visionary design to life.
