A consciously crafted renovation by Michael Bechara Design has transformed this garden apartment into a tranquil coastal haven, enhancing functionality while honouring its Art Deco soul. Tucked away to the peaceful rear of a beautifully maintained c1930 block of 12, the semi-like apartment combines a sense of seclusion with superb walkability on the cusp of Coogee and an easy walk down to the beach action. Reconfigured to bring clarity and flow, the two-bedroom home opens out to a lush backyard oasis conceived as an outdoor escape complete with an outdoor beach shower and private garden entry. A bespoke kitchen serves as the heart of the home with cantilevered cabinetry and breakfast island maintaining an easy connection to the living space. Carrara marble benchtops and handmade Zellige tiles add depth and warmth while huge windows and French doors create a close connection with the garden beyond. Delivering both a sense of permanence and poise, this layered approach achieves harmony between original Deco detailing and contemporary beach house appeal.
