When ceramic artist Cinnamon, her husband Scott and their children, started to outgrow the '70s worker's cottage the couple had owned for nearly 20 years, they had to decide whether to renovate or move. Renovation won out, as they realised how much they loved the village feel of their northern Gold Coast suburb.
The plan was to retain the aesthetic of the single level, pitched roof cottage but add a second storey to house the bedrooms. Unfortunately, height restrictions dictated otherwise, and the best solution resulted in a flat roof.
"This completely changed the look of the home," says Cinnamon. "It was now a big white box, which needed softening, so we added oversized window boxes for hanging plants, and the aesthetic grew from there."
When designing the interior of their home, the couple wanted to create somewhere that felt calm and grounded. Thoughtful design choices, like separate bathrooms for their teenagers, really make this property feel like the calming home the family always envisioned.
"Giving them their own space makes mornings much more peaceful," says Cinnamon.
Cinnamon's love for simplicity also spills into the pared back bedroom with a rendered half wall purposed as the couple's bedhead and a timber 'Tonk' stool from MCM House, used as a bedside table.
"I was quite happy for the master bedroom to be quite bare, quite minimal. But it almost looked too bare until I added the curtains around the bed," says Cinnamon.
And the gorgeous outside is just as tranquil as the inside, with a luxurious swimming pool and daybed rivalling even the most expensive of resorts.
