Bayview Residence: Elevated Living Through Refined Design
For our clients, the Bayview Residence represents more than an extensive renovation of their long-term family home — it is an opportunity to reshape how they live, entertain, and retreat. The design brief was clear: create spaces that elevate functionality while embodying a contemporary sense of luxury and refinement.
At the heart of the transformation is a gourmet kitchen, conceived as both a culinary workspace and a social hub. Designed for regular entertaining, the kitchen seamlessly integrates state-of-the-art appliances and connects directly to an alfresco entertaining zone with outdoor kitchen and pool. A large butler’s pantry supports the main kitchen area, ensuring that every detail of entertaining — from preparation to presentation — is effortless.
Anchoring the kitchen is an over-scaled island, conceived as a sculptural piece of furniture. One end links to the functional cooking zone, facilitating preparation, while the other invites guests to gather, mingle, and connect. The island, appears to hover off the floor, a metallic ‘breezeway / window’ provides a lightness to the stone structure. — its refined presence both substantial and delicate. Materiality plays a defining role here: Neolith, Whitesands encases both the functional services zone and the portal to the butler’s pantry, its creamy warmth and soft natural tone evoking a sense of calm. This versatile surface contrasts beautifully between applications: a slender 12mm profile on walls and splashbacks, a mitred 200mm apron with sharknose edge to the island, and durable benchtops and shelving in the pantry. Its performance — heat, stain, and scratch resistant — ensures functionality never compromises elegance.

The material palette extends seamlessly across the home, layering sage greens, walnut timber joinery, refined metallic accents, and fluted glass. Together, they create a kitchen and living environment that feels emotionally grounding — light-filled, balanced, and beautifully restrained.
In the main bathroom, design restraint ensures a timeless yet contemporary atmosphere. Here, Neolith Artisan defines the space with its versatile, textured surface applied to floors, walls, vanity benchtops, splashbacks, and even an integrated basin. A double shower with built-in seat and steam room becomes a retreat, softened by arches, fluted glass, linen sheers, and brass detailing. American walnut cabinetry adds warmth and tactility, complemented by Australian-made Astra Walker tapware in Sydney Bronze. The result is a bathroom that is as much sanctuary as it is statement — liveable luxury in its truest form.
