Coastal Pavilion, as it’s known, is a new house designed by Mim Design on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula.

The family home belongs to Lou and Ross Nichols, owners of much-loved local furniture and lifestyle brand Coastal Living. Drawing on the relaxed, beachy style and pared-back palette of their design brand, Mim Design principal Miriam Fanning, director of architecture and Luca Vezzosi, and project architect Stella Lien, set out to create an authentic, timeless home to support contemporary living.

Miriam describes the house as a series of pavilions over split levels that respond to the site’s sloping nature and rear views. These pavilions are defined externally by differing materials, from zinc that riffs off charred timber, to painted brick, off-form concrete, and a curving breeze block wall.

A staggered hallway on entry reveals the home’s split levels separating the quiet and communal areas. ‘As regular entertainers, the design needed to integrate a private retreat at the front of the residence with a generous entertaining space at the rear,’ says Miriam.

Furniture wise, the home contains many luxe, comfortable pieces from Coastal Living, Domo and Jardan, which soften the palette of tonal greys and whites. The placement of everyday items such as artwork, paired with pieces from the client’s own furniture business, enrich the house with sentimental values and personality. ‘There’s a sense of permanence signalling people really live here,’ says Miriam.

Striving for design longevity, this project is characterised by simplicity and restraint, while also leaving room to evolve and become more layered over time as the family grows. ‘What we love about this project is that it’s a coastal home without any coastal cliches,’ Miriam says.

The sandstone home of Linda Habak and her husband Jason had a long history before the couple took ownership eight years ago. Originally built in 1881, the house, named ‘Rosebriar’, was moved from its original site at 20 Church Street, Hunters Hill in the 1970s. ‘The cottage was dismantled and faithfully re-erected in 1970 by David Abotomy, a renowned restorer of historic buildings. He saved the cottage from being destroyed and relocated and restored the house for his mother on land he owned,’ says Linda.

Linda and Jason had been living in a neighbouring suburb for 10 years when they came across this property, which Linda immediately felt drawn to. ‘It sounds very woo woo, but I feel like this house found me,’ she says. ‘I feel like I was called to preserve and enhance the beauty of the original cottage. I feel like I was called to be the custodian of this property.’

The first two years of living here saw the couple and three young daughters Nevaeh, Kaia, and Sabina squeezed into the existing home’s two bedrooms, while they went through the design phase and awaited council approvals. Their aim was to transform the existing cottage into a generous villa, designed alongside Hugh Campbell from Campbell Architecture, in a manner that celebrated its origins. ‘The original brief to our architect Hugh was that we wanted to preserve the way the cottage felt, and didn’t want to lose its essence post the expansion and addition,’ says Linda.

Renovating this property was a huge undertaking, with the family living in the property throughout the 18 month construction process. ‘The access was very difficult, and we had site constraints with a 15 metre drop from top to bottom of the property,’ explains Linda. ‘We chose the right architect after a first failed attempt. Hugh really understood the brief and worked through all the difficult site constraints and a notoriously difficult council.’

The original cottage is now used entirely as a living space, with a discreet contemporary addition added below. This new element expands the home’s accommodation, creating an expansive terrace in the treetops for entertaining & appreciating the river views.

An interior palette of natural materials and muted colours sets a calm and sophisticated mood, and was developed by Linda, who is an interior designer, ‘It feels like a treehouse with such a beautiful aspect and views over Lane Cove River. North-west sun floods through the whole house and into every room,’ she says. The main paint shade used throughout is the New Zealand Dulux colour Manorburn, which is applied in various strengths throughout the home. The ceilings are quarter strength, the walls are half strength, kitchen joinery is double strength, and the formal lounge is painted with 400 per cent strength.

When people arrive at this home, they are naturally struck by the water views, but the interiors are equally impressive. ‘Everyone says that it feels so refined and beautiful with the interesting art, objects, rugs and furniture, but it’s also very welcoming and comfortable,’ says Linda. ‘I like to call it ‘approachable luxury!’

The now completed home is a robust yet relaxing haven for the family and their now teenage daughters, which continues the architectural legacy of the original property and surrounding area.

When interior stylist Aimee Tarulli and her architect husband Frank first encountered the site of their current home, they were met with a derelict 1960s brick residence that the real estate agent described as ‘un-rentable.’ Aimee explains ‘the phrase “buy the worst home on the best street” was definitely true for us.’ With the pre-existing home being deemed ‘beyond repair’, the couple started from scratch, with a floor plan designed to cater to family across different phases of life.

The resulting outcome is an impressive double-storey home, with four bedrooms, a study, three living areas, an expansive kitchen, and a sparkling outdoor pool. The objective was to ‘create a home that really reflected our design aesthetic and our personalities, but was also a very practical and liveable home for our young family’, explains Aimee.

The house was designed with the aim to transcend ‘white walls’, offering unexpected surprises and delights as you move through the space. Aimee enthuses ‘at each turning point you are met with a different texture of wall finish, and the surprise of different “wow” moments throughout the entire home.’

Aimee’s collection of contemporary art by local painters adorns many of the walls, and she cites a large original work by Craig Waddell as a particular favourite. ‘It is the first thing you see when you come into the house, and it takes people’s breath away. It’s a beautiful rich oil painting with so much texture and movement and it’s a piece I will love forever.’ As a designer, Aimee often builds the room around a single piece of art, and is lucky to have acquired works by a number of TDF favourites. Miranda Skoczek, Kerry Armstrong, Kirra Jamison, Ali McNabney-Stevens and Heidi Yardley are among her impressive collection…. how many can you spot ?!
