As a place of restoration, Peninsula House draws together all the right pieces to complete an ideal, natural calm. Arent&Pyke uses the muted landscape as textural and tonal inspiration for the home, adding layers of warmth and invitation.

Having long fostered a relationship with the clients – earned over multiple projects completed together – Peninsula House was conceived with personal touches to capture those who use the holiday home. Located in Palm Beach overlooking Pittwater below, the existing home sits immersed within its densely natural setting, seeing key connections to place act as a reminder of sanctuary.

Originally designed by architect Susan Rothwell, Arent&Pyke designed the interior as a contemporary layering, sculpting the spaces to suit the modern day; the weaving of the new with the existing nods to the current owners, allowing them to imprint their own mark on the property.

Peninsula House is spread over multiple levels and incorporates a variety of areas for hosting additional guests. A newly renovated kitchen anchors the space as the gathering centre of the home and a destination of its own. The relaxed nature of long summer days and enviable setting forms the inspiration for the casual atmosphere throughout, further accentuated through the free-flowing movement between inside and out. Living spaces generously spill into dedicated outdoor areas as an extension of the home, inviting the outside in and the inside out.
