A robust and modern coastal home in Sydney's Newport Revelling in its glorious setting, the metamorphosis of this coastal Sydney home is a joy to behold.Feb 24, 2021 11:35pm The design is as brave as it is beautiful.

The couple – parents to Molly, 13, Koby, 11, and Chilli, four – says the sense of serenity is palpable right from the front door. "We call it our retreat," says Kristy, with a smile.
