Positioned on a headland of Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Surfside House is a sprawling, tactile retreat designed by Richard Cole Architecture. Embedded in its coastal setting, the home uses timber and neutral-toned stone to create a relaxed, beachy family home. The house reveals itself gradually, inviting you to explore its layered details and connections to place.

The kitchen is lofty but a textured wall of timber joinery adds warmth. At the heart of the space is the V-ZUG Gas Cooktop, featuring manual precision cooking and a black mirror glass finish. This is matched – and elevated – by the intelligent automated cooking of V-ZUG’s Combair and CombiSteamer V6000.

With such a pristine location by the ocean, Richard Cole Architecture has ensured that the home feels both open and connected to its location – while at the same time being protected from the elements with solid sandstone and slanted openings.
