Breezy Arches & Earthy Textures in a Coastal Retreat with Mediterranean Soul

With sweeping views and sun-soaked spaces, Oak & Orange’s Dream Home 10 brings the essence of the Mediterranean coast to the shores of New South Wales. Inspired by classic Mediterranean architecture, this contemporary family home is a masterclass in relaxed luxury. There’s earthy textures, coastal curves and warm tones, all combined to create a soulful sanctuary by the sea.

Heather and Sarah are long-time friends and experienced designers based in New South Wales. They joined forces to create Oak & Orange with a simple mission, to design dream homes that blend style, functionality and timeless appeal. With a passion for family-friendly living and a signature aesthetic that balances laid-back luxury with clever, practical design, Dream Home 10 is the latest in their popular design series. So, let’s have a look around.

From the moment you step through the oversized entry door, this home makes a statement. A dramatic double-height void draws in natural light and sets the tone for the open, airy feel throughout. The interior palette is grounded in neutral tones like soft whites, sandy beiges and warm timber accents, punctuated by organic materials like travertine, rattan and brushed brass.

The heart of the home is the expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, where arched detailing and custom joinery add a refined, Mediterranean charm. The curved island bench in the kitchen is both sculptural and functional, anchored by fluted timber and a textured stone benchtop. Just beyond, a seamless indoor-outdoor connection opens onto the alfresco area, complete with an outdoor kitchen and pool, perfect for endless summer entertaining.

Texture is everything in this home. Curved walls, rendered finishes and rustic stone tiles add visual interest without overpowering the serene aesthetic. Oak flooring underfoot brings warmth, while stunning styling adds layers of softness and personality.

Dream Home 10 is a coastal haven designed for real family living, blending beauty and practicality with the signature Oak & Orange style. Whether you're drawn to the breezy Mediterranean influences or the clever floorplan made for everyday life, this build proves that thoughtful design and relaxed luxury can go hand in hand.
