The Lavarack House - An Icon of Modern Coastal Architecture

A striking expression of tropical modernism just 200m* from the beach, The Lavarack House is an award-winning architectural residence where exceptional design, craftsmanship and effortless coastal living converge.

Designed by BDA Architecture and brought to life by DB Build, the home commands a prime 607m²* corner allotment, with a sculptural composition of off-form concrete and hand-laid stone softened by cascading greenery. Beyond the façade, an expansive 774m²* multi-level floorplan unfolds in galleries of full-height glazing, natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor connection.

Custom oak joinery, honed Tundra Grey and Bianco Carrara marble and considered detailing bring warmth and refinement to the interiors. Multiple living and entertaining zones culminate in a spectacular top-floor retreat and wraparound terrace, complete with a plunge pool, sauna, built-in barbecue and wet bar, capturing sea breezes, hinterland sunsets and 360-degree outlooks.

Accommodation is equally considered, comprising an oversized master retreat, two additional bedrooms and separately accessed, fully self-contained two-bedroom guest quarters. An executive office, internal lift, landscaped courtyard gardens and secure parking for four vehicles complete a residence designed to accommodate family life, entertaining and guests with ease.
