Another huge auction resulting in a suburb record price. For all your property advice contact John or Nick.
A 1950s home stripped so far back that only three of its original walls remain; 'Vista House' is a reincarnation worthy not only of its deeply-rooted mid-century origins, but also its elevated outlook along Adelaide's coastline, revealing those burnt orange sunsets and rolling storms in a way that only Seacliff Park knows.
It's one thing to own that view. It's another thing entirely to capture it from a two-level home that salutes 'Palm Springs' with the perfect dash of restraint and passively self-regulates its comfort levels using the very concrete, stone, timber, steel and light-grabbing glass that defines its timeless aesthetic.
Its creators: Keen Construct, architect Damien Chwalisz and interior designer Fabrikate. Their canvas: a deep parcel that retains vastly improved versions of its original pool and a separate studio now self-contained and ready to appease your independence-craving teenager or overnight guests.
Whether it's the reclaimed 'Ramin' timber cladding, American Oak joinery, travertine crazy pave or the steel-sculptured staircase that's as much a work of art as it is a functioning piece; a home that stands just a short walk from the beach draws its inspiration not only from another era, but far and wide.
