42 Lowry Street, Peregian Beach, Qld 4573

What's not to love about an inspirational oasis of calm, created with
lashings of energy-smart elements, cleverly designed by Nathan Kenzler
to preserve and celebrate the existing lush natural vegetation, resulting in
the ultimate modern bush to beach house, 5-minutes to squeaky-white
sand and popular surf breaks.
Note the front garden with bird-attracting banksias, pandanus, frangipani
and strategically placed granite boulders fringing pavers to the entrance.
Open the massive statement timber pivot door into the wide gallery-like
hallway, and all the hallmarks of the good life become clear.
Admire a semi-Japanese-style flow, lofty raked ceilings, burnished
concrete flooring and a honed raw look throughout including beachy-light
block walls of individual character made from recycled concrete, and used
so effectively with complementary natural materials such as timber.
Fanning out in a captivating fashion is the expansive living and dining
area with disappearing doors on three sides, coalescing with the
undercover jarrah terraces which surround the residence almost entirely.
Similarly engaging with the landscaped primarily north-facing garden are
established tropical plantings, also mango, lime, mandarin and tangelo
trees.
Filtered shadows appear to dance across the richly-hued polished concrete
in the centre and very heart of the residence. There's a very calming
almost Zen-like ambience, yet a sense of drama in the variation of spaces
indoors and out, creating joyful moments and numerous entertaining
options for family and friends, whatever the reason or season.
Design and high-end functionality culminate in the L-shaped kitchen.
Custom honed concrete benches have dark timber cabinetry including a
massive island breakfast bar and a pantry. The splashback is stainless
steel, and the latest high-end appliances include AEG oven and an
induction cooktop, Neff dishwasher and Liebherr double fridge. An
entertainer's dream come true, no less!
Natural casual elegance and timeless style continues in the three extra
roomy bedrooms which open to the southside's undercover terrace and
garden, plus all have glass-fronted, cavity sliding doors. The premier suite
has a bathroom ensuite with timber and long basin-topped cabinetry also
a timber shelf, and the sizeable shower with mosaic-look wall tiles in
pastel grey shades, opens to southside undercover terrace. Two bedrooms
share a bathroom which has an outdoor yet undercover shower. Nothing
quite like feeling as though you are communing with nature from the
semi-security of indoors!
The residence, completed in 2022, comes with solar, battery storage
water tank, and "the concrete blocks were intended to give a solid base
feel, also anchor the beachy light walls and roof into the natural shape of
the land,' explains designer Nathan Kenzler. "Concrete blocks have great
thermal mass, and the design is intended to be like living with nature, aka
a micro climate within the native trees. Today newer strict regulations
demanded by government for energy efficiency; would make a design like
this extremely difficult to achieve."
"This energy smart natural bush to beach house, is the true essence of
modern living," explain Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Nic Hunter and
Tracy Russell.
Its overall character is naturally charming, permeable, translucent yet
transparent, vertical design elements echo its surrounds and an
immediate connection from indoors to out. The location is much sought-
after, being so close to the beach and popular surf breaks, Noosa National
Park, the boutiques, dining, and café heart of vibrant Peregian Village,
also proximity to Sunshine Beach and Noosa Main Beach.
