Named the 2024 HIA Western Australian Regional Home of the Year, along with three other major accolades, this striking Geographe Bay custom home by Tallwood Custom Built Homes is a standout in every sense. Positioned along the highly sought-after Geographe Bay Road in WA’s beautiful South West, the residence is a commanding expression of luxury coastal living, a refined, modern classic that sits beautifully amongst its stunning natural surroundings.
The brief called for a home that was highly functional, filled with natural light, and delivered both on time and within budget. Through a deeply collaborative and detail-driven process, Tallwood not only fulfilled those expectations but exceeded them, delivering a residence that impresses at every level. From the street, the home makes an immediate impact with bold angular lines, full height double-glazed windows, and a façade designed to complement its coastal environment. Additional clerestory windows draw even more light into the interior, while cedar cladding across the terrace ceiling and a concealed garage door adds a warm, organic quality that connects the home to its coastal setting.
Designed in collaboration with Space Light Order, the 390sqm layout was shaped around the client’s lifestyle and the home’s orientation to the bay. Every space is purposeful, balancing form and function with ease to create a home that feels effortlessly liveable. The material palette is restrained yet luxurious, with honed travertine in the shared spaces and French oak flooring in the bedrooms.
Crisp white walls throughout are complemented by warm timber accents, adding depth and texture, this includes the beautifully detailed kitchen, where custom joinery conceals appliances and incorporates a built-in bar and scullery. This is a space that feels both refined enough to entertain guests at the breakfast bar, yet functional and relaxed enough for everyday family living.
A fireplace in the main living area adds another layer of comfort, creating a cosy retreat for cooler winter nights, all while keeping the ocean in clear sight.
Along with an expansive master suite, the home includes two secondary bedrooms, a TV snug, an activity room with built-in kitchenette, and a home elevator for long-term accessibility.
One of the standout features of this Geographe Bay custom home is the seamless connection between inside and out. Floor to ceiling sliding glass doors fully retract to open the interior living areas onto a generous deck, blurring the line between home and horizon. It’s a home designed for the coastal lifestyle, from entertaining in the open-plan living zone to rinsing off after a swim in the outdoor shower or winding down in the evening in sunken firepit.
Every element of this beautifully crafted residence speaks to Tallwood’s reputation for excellence and the industry accolades speak for themselves. Alongside being named HIA Western Australian Regional Home of the Year, the home also took out 2024 HIA Southwest Home of the Year, Custom Built Home of the Year, and Custom Built Home Over $1.2 Million an achievement that reflects the calibre of Tallwood Custom Built Homes and their unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional results.
