Spacious shell - Peregian Beach home

A new spacious home of 508 square metres stands proud on Avocet Parade in Peregian Beach, Queensland. Formed in the shape of a seashell, the home reflects its proximity to the beach. With salt laden air and the harsh environment of seaside living, paint selections were made with care to maximise durability.

The home is finished throughout the interior and exterior with Resene. The exterior render finish is dressed in Resene Napa (grey beige neutral) with eaves and feature beams in Resene Quarter Parchment (pearly grey). Interior plasterboard walls are finished in Resene Zylone Sheen waterborne low sheen tinted to Resene Quarter Sisal (pale hemp) with feature walls of Resene Pravda (sober beige). A subtle gloss change to Resene Lustacryl semi-gloss waterborne enamel adds visual interest while maintaining the consistent hue of Resene Quarter Sisal.

The Resene palette was selected because of the extensive Resene The Range Whites & Neutrals collection offering good natural colours that are easy to work with, easy to live with and complement the designer’s preference of working with natural finishes such as timber and stone. The hues are reminiscent of wet and dry sand and a hint of seaside tussock, bringing the rugged outdoors into this home so that the atmosphere the beach evokes can be enjoyed regardless of the weather.
