All I want is a little house by the sea. It could have happened during that big Covid-19 exodus from cities to regional centres, but the thing is, the Inside Out team really does need to be at our city HQ on a regular basis. So my move didn’t happen. But it still could. I really don’t mind if my little house is not perfectly beachfront because I know just how much maintenance that requires. My mum and dad live by the ocean and are forever bemoaning their rusted window fixtures, corroded toasters and kettles, and flaking paintwork everywhere outside, thanks to ocean mists and salty spray. That’s one of the reasons we asked regular contributor Shannon Vos to investigate some good material choices for seaside living (page 144). Building…

Tucked into the dunes and surrounded by evergreen conifers in the quiet hamlet of Amagansett, just two hours’ drive from New York city, this home is an original design by the late American architect Andrew Geller, who was also known as the ‘architect of happiness’. Geller was prolific in the 1960s and ’70s, designing a series of homes that embodied postwar ingenuity and optimism with an inexpensive design language characterised by origami-like folds and angles that, although structurally challenging, are whimsical in feel. Named the Green House, after the couple who commissioned it, the current owners are Kearnon O’Molony and his wife Kate, along with their new baby son, Niall. Kearnon is a South-African born venture capitalist who has lived in New York for more than 20 years. “I was…

We drove past this long, pristine beach – there was nothing here at the time except a small caravan with a sales guy on duty – and I immediately fell in love,” recalls South African Ronelle Bester of first sighting this block in Dwarskersbos on the Cape’s increasingly popular West Coast. “We decided on the spot to buy a plot for a weekend getaway.” The location could not have been a better choice for Ronelle, her husband Möller and their two young sons, Julian and Josua, because the family actually lives on a farm in Moorreesburg, which is only about an hour away by car. This new second home is so close by, in fact, that the family frequently decides on a whim to pack and visit for the weekend.…

Jodi Hughes and her husband Simon were living in Newcastle with their three young daughters when they started to feel restless. The pair had both grown up in rural NSW and were pining for wide open spaces. But they also loved being close to the ocean and were reluctant to move too far inland. Their solution: relocate to the NSW South Coast, where farmland and rolling hills press up against lovely beaches. The couple zeroed in on Gerringong and Kiama, adjacent towns two hours’ drive south of Sydney. Committing to the south coast was easy; however, finding a new home there proved difficult. Most of the inland parcels were too large for residential use, and much of the coastline felt crowded. “We looked for about two years,” says Jodi. During…

It’s no secret that my house is something of a second showroom, with its own revolving door. During the four years we have lived in this beachside cottage, the place has seen six different coffee tables and three dining settings. Several armchairs have spent quality time with us, each bringing its unique beauty of line and texture before moving on to new residences. Like international guests, some of the pieces I’ve discovered on buying trips will arrive, stay for a while to the enjoyment of all, then head off on a new adventure with a client. Sometimes, too, when my clients’ style or space requirements change, they’ll return a piece to me and I will welcome it back like an old friend. Since I would never buy anything for a…

Agreat songwriter once wrote, “I do like to be beside the seaside.” Well, it’s truer now than ever. Australians love a waterside home, so much in fact that now more than 80 per cent of us technically live in a coastal area. Coastal may be a loose term here, but we all love a life beside the sea, don’t we? The sun, the surf, salty air (and hair!) are the stuff dreams are made of, but a coastal life can be a nightmare when it comes to our homes. Those of us who live near a sunburnt and sea-sprayed coastline know that the salt, sand, wind and rain can wreak havoc on our building materials, so it is essential to choose products and materials that will last a literal lifetime.…
