Located on one of the waterfront inlets of Palm Beach on the Gold Coast, this bespoke renovation redefines modern coastal living with a fresh, lifestyle-focused perspective. Designed by Templo Studio, a leading Gold Coast house designer, the project embraces the idea of home as a permanent “stay-cation” — relaxed, refined, and deeply connected to its coastal setting.
The renovation introduces a bold yet balanced material palette, combining concrete structural elements, Linea cladding, and vertical timber screening to create a contemporary coastal aesthetic. These materials not only enhance visual interest but are well suited to the demands of a coastal waterfront environment, offering durability alongside architectural clarity.
Outdoor living areas play a central role in the design. Naturalistic landscaping, generous entertaining zones, and a resort-style pool create a relaxed holiday atmosphere, reinforcing the home’s connection to its waterfront location and the Gold Coast lifestyle.
Internally, the kitchen and main living spaces are positioned to overlook the outdoor entertaining areas, strengthening the relationship between indoor and outdoor living. Expansive glazing floods the interiors with natural light and maximises views across the pool and landscaped gardens — a hallmark of quality Gold Coast coastal home design.
Designed to support a growing family and visiting grandparents, the home includes a spacious granny flat on the ground floor. This self-contained living space provides privacy and independence while remaining visually and functionally connected to the main residence, making it ideal for multi-generational living.
The Palm Beach Residence is more than a renovation — it is a considered transformation that aligns architectural decisions with the way the family lives. Expanded living areas, improved functionality, and a strong connection to the outdoors reflect Templo Studio’s approach to bespoke residential design on the Gold Coast.
The result is a modern waterfront home that balances elegance, comfort, and practicality — a place designed to be enjoyed every day, not just on holidays.
