With the use of carefully selected quality building materials and a strong design vision, Kyal and Kara have created a beautiful beachside sanctuary, designed to last a lifetime.
Expert renovators Kyal and Kara Demmrich have wrapped up their latest project – a three-bedroom family home and studio just metres from Blue Lagoon beach on the Central Coast of New South Wales.
Curved lines and organic forms are a feature of the home starting with the round pavers out front. “The curved features continue inside with arched doorways, rounded walls and a showstopper curved Helical Stairs made smooth with Gyprock plaster compounds, taking centre stage in the living room,” says Kara.
An open-plan kitchen, living and dining area is the true heart of the home, perfect for a family that enjoys entertaining.
One of the couples’ favourite rooms is the master bedroom and there are a few key features that make it special. “Throughout the home, we’ve used curves as a design element,” says Kyal, “and we wanted to do the same and add that architectural feature in the master bedroom.”
The curved wall that leads from the entrance of the bedroom around to the walk-in robe is a stand out feature and really softens the look of the space, and feels luxurious.
“Gyprock Flexible was the perfect plasterboard to see our vision come to life. Versatile and easy to install, the thinner-than-usual boards can be layered on top of one another to create unique shapes whilst maintaining strength,” adds Kyal.
The ensuite bathroom is a great example of using varying textures with similar colour tones to create a room that’s interesting.
The guest studio offers a retreat for family visits and guest accommodation and also acts as a way to create a ‘villa’ style yard for the main house, creating plenty of privacy from the front.
The crowning glory of the home is the outdoor entertaining space featuring a gorgeous mosaic-tiled pool, alongside lush greenery and a stunning stone wall.
