A light-filled coastal retreat designed for modern living

This contemporary second storey renovation in Jan Juv delivers a striking transformation that balances modern design with long-term durability. Designed for relaxed coastal living, the project introduced a new upper level featuring a spacious bedroom, en-suite and dedicated sauna room – creating a private, light-filled retreat tailored to the homeowner’s lifestyle.

The existing home received a full internal refresh, including new flooring, upgraded windows and a complete repaint to unify the renewed spaces. A soft, bright colour palette enhances the home’s modern feel while maximising natural light throughout.

Given the property’s coastal position — less than 500 metres from the ocean — every material was selected for strength and longevity. Aluminium windows and balustrades, spotted gum decking, James Hardie Axon cladding and a durable Colorbond Ultra roof ensure the home is well-protected against salt, wind and the harsh coastal environment. These low-maintenance, high-performance finishes support both practicality and aesthetic appeal, resulting in a home that will stand strong for years to come.

This extension and renovation has transformed the residence into a refined, modern coastal home that effortlessly combines functionality, durability and contemporary design – perfectly suited to its coastal setting.
