169A Esplanade

Aldinga Beach SA 5173

Set against the long, open sweep of Aldinga's Silver Sands, 169A Esplanade stands as a rare expression of coastal architecture born from one of South Australia's preeminent architect-builder collaborations. Part of the celebrated Mesa collection, this Architects Ink-Krivic creation blends Californian mid-century cues with the rugged beauty of an unmistakably South Australian shoreline. Recognised at the 2024 SA Architecture Awards, 'Mesa' is defined by its sculptural lines, material honesty and the way each residence settles into the landscape as if shaped by the wind, sunlight and tide itself. Completed in 2023, 169A rises in gentle steps toward the water, its frontage suspended like an eagle surveying the coastline. The arrival moves from cool shade to open sky, recalling the underbelly of a timber jetty, before the internal courtyard draws daylight into the centre of the plan. Inside, exposed rafters, concrete blockwork and warm timbers create a tactile, barefoot-ready interior, while Krivic's double brick construction with coastal grade detailing ensures the home is built to endure the environment it was conceived for.Open the door to: A sculptural Torrens titled residence within the award-winning Mesa collection, inspired by California Modernism and interpreted for Aldinga's rugged coastline. Double brick and concrete modular block construction that provides thermal mass, acoustic protection and long term resilience in a salt laden environment. A raked upper living zone that expands into the roofline, with exposed timber beams that create warmth and visual interest against the cool solidity of masonry. A beautifully resolved plan that folds the main suite into its own wing of the upper level High level double glazing placed to bring in horizon lines and coastal sky without compromising privacy and comfort, while promoting natural cross ventilation throughout. A lifted skillion roof calibrated to invite morning sun into the social heart of the home, while casting cooling shade during the warmer afternoon hours. An interior palette defined by burnished concrete, timber rafters and custom joinery, chosen to withstand coastal conditions with minimal maintenance and maximum longevity. Circulation loops that allow movement around the courtyard, giving the home a sense of openness and quiet separation between living areas and bedrooms. A kitchen positioned beneath the highest point of the roof, featuring Smeg oven, Dekton benchtops, six-burner Smeg induction cooktop and sculptural cylindrical range hood Recognised at the South Australian Architecture Awards in 2024, confirming its place as part of a thoughtfully resolved architectural ensemble.Outdoors: A stepped frontage shaped to settle naturally into the dune line, capturing changing light across its form while maintaining a soft visual relationship with the coast. An entry sequence inspired by the underside of a beach jetty, using shade, texture and quiet compression before opening into the sunlit courtyard at the centre of the home. A private internal courtyard that acts as an outdoor room, allowing light, warmth and breezes to filter through the plan, while offering a sheltered place to read, dine or pause. Rear vehicle access via a communal driveway with garage provision, keeping the Esplanade frontage uncluttered and preserving the architectural language of the home.Services: Ducted air conditioning supported by split system units and a combustion feature fireplace Alarm system with monitoring provisions Automated watering to established, low maintenance gardens Connected to mains water with under sink filter Connected to mains electricityLocation: Absolute Esplanade frontage with nothing between the home and the shoreline but a short stroll Set along the Aldinga waterfront boardwalk with cafes, casual dining and beach culture unfolding in both directions Minutes to Aldinga Central Close to Aldinga Primary School and a growing selection of local education options 50 minutes to Adelaide 15 minutes to McLaren Vale Surrounded by some of South Australia's most celebrated beaches, including Silver Sands and Port WillungaA beachfront home that distills South Australia's rugged coastline into something sculptural, enduring and spectacular from start to sunset.
