Hai Lang Residence is a unique beachfront home located on the South Coast of Australia, setting new standards in design, engineering, construction methods and interior detailing. Birdblack Design was mindful of creating harmony between the interior design and the architecture. The result is warm, refined, and homely. A standout feature is the Kitchen Island: drawing inspiration from a boat's hull. Despite its substantial size, the island avoids a monolithic feel through a three-dimensional, curved design, adding a touch of lightness to this significant part of the home.
