Set on the waterfront in Minyama, 48 Mooloolah Drive is an architecturally designed residence defined by a refined interplay of raw concrete, natural stone and warm timber.
Concrete forms a strong architectural language throughout the home, from suspended slabs and off-form walls to external fencing and structural elements. Against this restrained material palette, Calacatta Gold marble introduces warmth and natural movement, its soft white background, expressive grey veining and subtle gold tones providing an elegant counterpoint to the solidity of the concrete.
The stone is carried consistently throughout the residence, most prominently within the kitchen where Calacatta Gold wraps the expansive island benchtop, waterfall ends and sculptural stone supports. The same material continues through adjoining workspaces and utility areas, creating a cohesive material connection across the home.
A dramatic spiral staircase forms another defining architectural gesture, its sweeping white form contrasting with exposed concrete walls and dark timber treads. Nearby, a monolithic Calacatta Gold plinth transforms a simple decorative element into a piece of architecture in its own right.
Rather than competing with the home’s strong concrete structure, the Calacatta Gold brings softness, detail and timelessness – creating a considered balance between raw architectural form and refined natural materiality.
