- Located on the traditional land of the Yuin People, Bermagui Beach House by Winter Architecture showcases the adaptability of masonry and how it connects the interiors and architecture with the landscape and water beyond.
Melbourne-based firm Winter Architecture sought to unify the relationship between the client and their surrounding environment through a thoughtful and sympathetic design. In this exclusive film series in partnership with Brickworks, architects Jean Graham and Helen Pallot take us on a private tour through Bermagui Beach House. Together they unveil a tranquil coastal holiday home fit for extended family that is both sensitive and hard-wearing, courtesy of a tactile material palette that explores the versatility of masonry materials.
The beach house overlooks Bermagui Beach on New South Wales’s Sapphire Coast, perched on a clifftop bordering Bermagui’s famed Blue Pools. Winter Architecture were brought on board to reinvent an existing weatherboard shack that had been in the family for decades. “I feel like we were able to tap into the spirit and the story of why the family come to Bermagui,” Jean says.
With this classic style of Australian architecture front of mind, the beach house was completely redesigned, fusing informal character with clean minimalism. A timber-clad exterior envelopes the structure, while blockwork from Austral Bricks becomes the primary material that continues the flow from the exterior to the interior. The blockwork also forms the foundation within the coastal home and works cohesively with the openings on each façade that embrace the proximity to the lush, native landscaping. “The materiality will age over time. The steel and the timber blend well together, and the masonry extending internally to externally allows for that seamless relationship and timeless, grounded nature,” Jean explains. The structure features three pavilions and sits on the rear boundary of the site to engage the full scope of the landscaping while orientating to the ocean vistas.
At the northernmost point, the main living pavilion centres itself toward the views. An open-plan kitchen spills into the dining, dropping into the living room with a sofa filling the space. Designed with ample room for extended family to join year-round, an Obliqa Ergo Focus suspended fireplace anchors the room.
This sentiment of bringing people together is echoed in the addition of a guest pavilion, connecting to the main building through a glazed link. Flexible rooms can turn into guest bedrooms, opening to the sheltered courtyards, while the palette of silver timber and white tiles continues throughout the beach house.
The Bermagui Beach House exterior features darker, durable timber cladding, set to weather and age in time and evocative of the raw dune-like landscape. However, the light paving begins outside, connecting to the interior in a deliberate consciousness of contemplative spaces and purposeful transitions.
As Winter Architecture narrates, this is a home to be explored entirely barefoot. Bermagui Beach House is a calming counterpoint to the rugged coastal environment and a restorative base for family getaways. “When you think of a Summer holiday, and you think of those beautiful moments, this is the place setting where you would have those moments, where you can feel like part of the sea,” Helen says.

I love the use of materials such as timber and bricks inside and out utilised in this home and how it naturally nestles into the coastal environment.
A holiday home that sits as one with the surrounding NSW coastline! The seamless blending of materiality will age so beautifully over time. Well done Winter Architecture.
One of the most appealing aspects of this property is its simplicity. Sometimes, all you need is time away from the constraints of your everyday homes. This home provides a serene environment where you can truly disconnect from the outside world and immerse yourself in tranquillity.
From the moment you step into the house, it has a beautiful vibe that instantly promotes relaxation. With carefully curated interiors, soothing colors, and cozy furnishings, every corner exudes a sense of calmness and comfort.
That lounge room! Wow! This house feels so calming and so far away from a traditional home feel. Stunning views too. I can imagine sitting by that beautiful fireplace and watching the whales in the sea.
Thank you so much!
The way the bricks have been incorporated into this architectural marvel is not only aesthetically pleasing but also showcases its enduring appeal. I love how the warmth and texture of the materials have been captured so intricately to highlight these beautiful details. The seamless connection to nature is the perfect cherry on top. Superb!
Yes! Further to the bricks look, their function is important in heating and cooling the home throughout the seasons. Thanks for sharing your feedback.
Really enjoyed how she spoke of the place - a number of good sentences that makes one stop and think
The design of this home is both beautiful and clever - taking advantage of the amazing ocean views while incorporating practical elements. The interior and exterior brickwork blends harmoniously with the other materials used and creates a seamless transition between inside & out.
Thank you very much, well said!
Love the neutral materiality of this home. The light timber floorboards paired with the light coloured bricks and the wall paint colour, all allow for the amazing landscape to be highlighted through the large windows. I just love it.
We agree, superb palette and materials. Thanks for sharing.
This feels like a classic Australian beach house, even in Winter it feels inviting and cosy. I could sit there and watch the ocean for hours.
So cosy in winter with fire watching the storms roll over the ocean. Stay tuned for more exceptional beach houses.
The production is just as incredible as the home. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
WOW those whales 💙Gorgeous holiday home, I would watch the ocean from that living room year round. Love the internal brickwork and white suspended fireplace. Congratulations Winter Architecture.
Us too! The living rooms northwestern aspect, calming materials, oversize lounge and fireplace make for an ideal space rain, hail or shine.
And yes the whales passing through are magical. We were incredibly fortunate to see them whilst filming.
A beautiful location for a beautiful home! I love the use of bricks from floor to wall - well done.
Thank you very much!
They would have excellent water pressure & superb mobile phone reception!
Definitely with their neighbours!
I cried😭😭😭I saw my dream home.
Thanks for sharing, it’s exceptional in design and location. We have more dream houses to share with you, stay tuned.
It beautiful but cold and dystopian for a multi generational family holiday home.
This Channel's Production Quality Is As Beautiful As The Homes.
Thank you so much. Stay tuned, team estliving.con
This home has an unparalleled position above Bermagui's blue pool. Winter Architecture have levelled up to the location with this architectural beach house and its enduring and tactile material palette, reflective of the coastal context.
Scenic serene views of power lines spewing across the skyline from every window....idyllic.
Such a "first world" thing to say that this vacation home feels so different from the "regular" house, so you can be sure to know you're at your vacation home. Ha!
True, it’s an absolute privilege.
What do you mean the best living room? Looks like all parts of this house are at their best 👏🏼💯
Yes very true, design at its best.
Why do all the Australian house videos show so little of the house and constantly have move at a speed that disorientates. Sit still, frame the shot, the eyes and the mind need a little rest to take things in!
Maybe so that the design will not be copied. I get it, but it does often obscure the beauty.
Thank you for sharing you view, taking it on board for our future film productions 👍
where in Australia is this?
This house is located in Bermagui on the coast of New South Wales, south of Sydney. Stay tuned, team estliving.com
Everything is well designed, one thing I observed is that the white brick feels forced.
Very well designed, please tell us what brick would you have used? The exchanges of ideas on TH-cam is what makes this platform so great. Thank you, team est living
This is supposed to be about the house but all Im taking away is the whale playing on the horizon!
We couldn’t agree more, the whale is spectacular swimming in the ocean. A magic moment. Stay tuned, estliving.com
Brow ridges as rugged as the coastline
Must be some sort of secret club
🤡🌏

Thank you very much! Passed your wonderful feedback on to our production team 👍
