The design inspiration for Cove House was rooted in the desire to integrate the calming influence of nature into every aspect of the home. Soft, neutral palettes were chosen to reflect the natural surroundings, with materials such as limewashed timber and micro-concrete used to enhance the feeling of serenity and openness. The seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces was a key focus, achieved through expansive windows and skylights that flood the interiors with natural light and provide unobstructed views of the lush greenery and ocean beyond.

The kitchen, with its premium finishes and open-plan layout, serves as both a functional and social hub, seamlessly integrating with the dining and living areas.
