Coolatai House: A Chef's Paradise, a Testament to Architectural Excellence

In the state of Victoria, at the extreme south of the Australian continent, the Great Ocean Road winds: the most fascinating panoramic road in the country. The complete 253-kilometer route is immersed in local flora, dotted with spectacular views and small coastal towns. Travelling along the Great Ocean Road is a unique experience, a journey to discover rainforests, waterfalls, fern woods, and pristine beaches.

The environment surrounding the route has become, over the years, a place of holiday and retreat: the timeless and serene atmosphere of the wooded areas overlooking the coasts calls for relaxation of body and mind, becoming a paradise for reflection and home to unique, harmonious, and cutting-edge design luxury homes.

Today, we open the doors to one of the most wonderful homes along the Great Ocean Road.

Immersed in verdant vegetation, Coolatai House stands as a serene retreat characterised by large windows framing breathtaking views of distant waters. The surrounding nature is an integral part of the home, with open and closed spaces embracing it, blurring boundaries seamlessly.

Like a lighthouse, the residence rises above the dense forest barrier, offering spectacular views of the crystal-clear waters of Wye River Bay. Its clean and tenacious design harmonises with the environment, enhancing its colours and shades. Designed as a weekend home, Coolatai House transforms daily comfort into a tangible experience. Three welcoming bedrooms, generous living spaces, and protected outdoor areas, free of architectural barriers, create a comfortable escape from ordinary reality. Selected materials like stainless steel, wood, and metal, along with a deep-toned colour palette, convey the house's safe and stable essence. The integration of these elements results in a building destined to withstand the passage of time: a relaxed, reflective environment effortlessly projected into the future.

Coolatai House epitomises structural harmony: the interplay between open and closed spaces fosters a constant connection between internal and external environments, forging an indissoluble bond between inhabitants and natural elements. Designed to welcome guests while ensuring privacy, the residence seamlessly transforms from a place of conviviality to an intimate refuge, masterfully adapting to its inhabitants' needs at all times.

The kitchen space at Coolatai House serves as the heart of the home, symbolising the convergence of indoor and outdoor environments. Surrounded by slim modular windows, this area acts as a portal connecting urban and natural worlds: the alternating openings toward external lounges and dining areas underscore its social essence, while its minimal design accentuates its essentiality.

At its core lies an authentic masterpiece: a stainless steel kitchen boasting clean and harmonious lines, adorned with a modern design that embraces the space. Its mirrored surfaces amplify the allure of nature, reflecting the textures and nuances of the surrounding wooded exteriors, thereby offering an immersive and naturalistic culinary experience.

The selection of stainless steel is deliberate: its durability, hygiene, and refinement render it the material of choice for kitchen structures in top-tier restaurants. Within the culinary domain of Coolatai House, steel exudes timeless elegance and accentuates the professionalism of the space, a trait echoed by the inclusion of high-end integrated appliances.

Equipped with cutting-edge culinary technologies such as the Sub-Zero refrigerator and Model 1 by Unox Casa, this kitchen serves as the nerve center of gastronomy. Simultaneously, it caters to the desires of those who relish entertaining, beckoning gatherings and promising unforgettable culinary moments. Coolatai House transcends the conventional notion of a dwelling: it stands as a haven for chefs, an oasis of rejuvenation, and a beacon of architectural brilliance.

Nestled seamlessly amidst the sleek lines and silvery tones of the kitchen, SuperOven emerges as a brilliant focal point, exuding elegance and modernity in its design. Unox Casa's professional oven for home epitomises culinary mastery, marrying state-of-the-art technology with timeless Italian craftsmanship. Model 1 stands as an indispensable element within the high-performance and professional kitchen environment of the Wye River residence, elevating the mere preparation space into a realm of boundless creativity and experimentation.

Model 1 and the Coolatai House kitchen share not only space but also a soul: characterised by stainless steel structures, minimalist yet functional designs, straight and sharp lines, and resilient, high-performance attributes, they synergise to unite instrument and environment. The spatial concept embodied by the Wye River residence extends seamlessly into the kitchen, where boundaries between structure and technology dissolve, transforming the space into an infinite realm of gastronomic possibilities.
