Hamptons Home, Gold Coast, QLD
When Queensland couple Lisa and Wayne Patterson wanted to build their dream Hamptons home, they turned to McCarthy Homes, experts in adapting the Hamptons look to the Queensland climate.
“My dream home has always been a Hamptons design,” says owner, Lisa Patterson. “We just wanted an open style home that flowed effortlessly, and took advantage of the water views and breezes afforded by our block of land.”
In response, McCarthy Home delivered a design for a calm, relaxed retreat in keeping with the quiet, island-style waterfront location on Queensland’s Gold Coast.
The design incorporated features that bring to life the feeling of being on the open water, such as clean Linea™ weatherboard lines and an understated, ocean-inspired colour palette.
Clean cut lines, open, light-filled spaces and a neutral colour palette are just a few of the features that define this Hamptons home. Give the home’s location on Queensland’s Gold Coast, McCarthy Homes cleverly adapted the traditional American Hamptons look to suit the laid-back Australian coastal vibe.
“The use of Scyon Linea™ cladding on this project has totally defined the end aesthetic of this project,” says McCarthy Homes. “The clean, straight lines provide a façade with a distinctly modern take on a classic coastal style, while creating a seamless indoor-outdoor transition from the backyard through to the living and dining areas.”
Overcoming key environmental and climate challenges was key to bringing this Hamptons dream to life.
Scyon Linea weatherboards were recommended to the owners due to their suitability for this project both practically and aesthetically, to create a timeless exterior that spells coastal living.
With the same traditional charm as timber boards, Scyon Linea weatherboards presented a hardwearing, low maintenance alternative that would allow more time spent relaxing rather than on upkeep and repairs. Finished in Windspray Grey, they provided a modern, coastal style that retained the charm of a traditional weatherboard.
