8 Dolphin Street, Randwick

The artistic reimagining of this coastal hideaway reveals an eclectic blend of new and vintage design elements to create a tranquil hideaway on the cusp of Coogee between the beach and Randwick town centre. Perched high for privacy at the top end of the street, the freestanding home is embraced by nature with a lush rainforest garden oasis at the rear and a lofty studio-style upper level with walls of glass framing idyllic valley to ocean views affording the ambiance of a treetop sanctuary. Northerly sunshine floods the interiors while its creative design maximises function, calm and serenity with the top floor ideal as a parent's retreat, home office studio or entertaining space that can be closed off to create a self-contained residence. With the sand and surf at the end of the street, this quiet pocket is 500m to the heart of Randwick, The Spot and the world-class medical precinct.
