Little Bay | Gubbuteh Rd | Oceanfront | Over 300 sqm of glass, light, and challenge
Some homes don’t ask for styling.
They demand vision.
This was one of them — a dramatic, oceanfront glass house in Little Bay with floor-to-ceiling windows spanning two levels, flooding every inch with light… and challenge.
With windows on nearly every wall, the usual approach — “place furniture against the perimeter” — was off the table. Literally.
The home called for something more: a layout that invited movement, framed the view, and respected the architecture.
But then came the second challenge:
Two structural columns — right in the middle of the open space.
We couldn’t ignore them. We couldn’t block them. And we definitely couldn’t let them interrupt the experience of living here.
Our lead designer spent hours mapping traffic flow, seating alignment, and balance — ensuring every rug, table, and sofa served the room without clashing with the columns or stealing the spotlight from the view.
The concept?
Centre-weighted elegance. Furniture floated in the middle of the room, like an installation — allowing the windows to perform as intended: a stage for the world outside.
Styling had to walk a fine line — between celebration and control.
This wasn’t a cosy cottage. This was a home that celebrates modern life. Bold in proportion. Restrained in tone. A place where entertaining and breathing space go hand in hand.
Accessories? Scaled up.
Materials? Natural and architectural.
Colours? Joyful, but measured. We opted for earthy mustard, warm neutrals, sculptural ceramics — everything elevated, but never overdone.
This wasn’t just a staging.
It was spatial strategy — for a very specific buyer. Someone who wants the ocean, but not the crowd. The openness, but not the chaos. Someone who sees a home like this and thinks:
“I don’t need curtains. I want the world.”
