On Sydney’s eastern coastline, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this Maroubra luxury home designed by Johnstone and Johnson balances contemporary minimalism with warmth and liveability. Built to accommodate three generations of one family, the 400m² home is spread across three levels, each space carefully planned to capture the outlook while offering privacy and comfort.
The vision for this stunning Maroubra residence was simple yet ambitious – create a modern coastal home that could bring together multiple generations while keeping the Pacific Ocean as the ever-present backdrop. What has emerged is a house that feels both expansive and deeply personal, where stone, glass and light work in harmony to frame endless views of the sea.
Anchored by stone cladding that ties it to its lush, tree-filled surrounds, the home unfolds across three levels with a natural sense of continuity. Inside, five bedrooms and four bathrooms provide space for extended family, while a private parents’ retreat, complete with lounge, bar and terrace, offers a sanctuary of its own. At the heart of it all, a sculptural cantilevered staircase suspended on fine steel rods becomes one of the home’s outstanding architectural features, connecting each floor as gracefully as it functions.
Living here means being constantly drawn to the ocean outlook and the horizon. The main living areas flow to stepped terraces designed for long lunches and family gatherings, where an infinity pool stretches out toward the water. Glass-wrapped balconies and floor to ceiling windows keep the outlook uninterrupted, filling every room with coastal light and the calming green of the surrounding gardens.
The lower ground level is given over to leisure and lifestyle including a wine cellar, home theatre, rumpus room and basement level provides garaging for cars and motorbikes. It’s a home designed not only for daily life but also for enjoyment and relaxing.
For Toby Johnson, founder of Johnstone and Johnson, every project is an opportunity to respond directly to the site and the people who will live there. This Maroubra luxury home exemplifies his belief that architecture should be both a reflection of place and a canvas for family life.
