Hamptons
Australians have a life-long romance with the beach. Of sun-drenched days, the sounds of the ocean. The sun setting over the water imbues our memories with golden warmth. Inspired by the luxury weekenders, holiday homes and beachfront estates found on the south shore of Long Island, New York’s ritzy summer playground, Hamptons-style homes slip easily into Perth’s coastal landscape. Deep verandas and wrap-around porches shade us from the summer sun, while contemporary low-maintenance cladding takes the place of traditional timber weatherboards.
White trims, contrasted against blue-grey cladding. The timber of old has been updated to a robust, modern palette of fibre-cement weatherboards. Decorative shingled Dutch gables add visual interest, and modern high-performance panelled windows recapture the look of the past. Turned timber posts and balustrades add distinct visual interest to balconies and verandahs.
Interiors are natural, low key and understated. Timber and stone combine to provide glamourous, but unobtrusive textures throughout. Cornices are deep and detailed, without being showy. For a more tailored look, interior paneling or wainscoting is painted white to contrast with plaster walls in muted colours.
