Contemporary coastal house / Tag

Brighton Sands is a four-level house in Brighton, Australia, by Melbourne practice mckimm, conceived as a calm yet luxurious home for a young family. The coastal residence draws on LA hillside living, with layered interiors, lush planting, and open terraces that keep daily life close to air, light, and water. Every level, from basement retreat to rooftop terrace, leans into organic materials and sculptural forms that stay generous and refined.

Georgian Bay Beach House sits on the Canadian shoreline as a contemporary reading of a familiar cottage type, shaped by &Pierre with quiet precision and warmth. The house translates aging-in-place principles into a layered domestic setting, where neutral materials, coastal light, and careful planning guide daily rituals across three levels. It reads as calm and deeply rooted, yet prepared for changing needs over time.
