One side of the house watches the world go by. Boats leave their berths. Paddleboarders cross the water. Light moves across the marina and the outlook changes with the weather. Turn in the other direction and you are in an entirely private world of limestone, water and tropical planting - a heated magnesium pool, spa and cabana hidden from the street and sheltered from view. That contrast is at the heart of The Quay. Completed in 2025, the 607m² residence was designed by Architecture HDT and constructed by Gemco as a contemporary coastal courtyard house. Its scale is substantial, but scale alone doesn't explain it. The architecture moves between outlook and retreat, entertaining and privacy, activity and escape. Precast concrete and structural steel give the house its permanence. Aluminium, New Zealand limestone and glass shape the exterior, while inside, copper, natural stone, American black walnut, timber ceilings and extensive glazing soften the architecture and add warmth. The principal living level sits above the marina. Kitchen, dining and living spaces take in life on the water while decks on both sides of the house allow you to follow the sun - marina on one side, pool courtyard on the other. The kitchen island will probably be where people end up, regardless of where you intended them to sit. It anchors a kitchen designed as much for people as cooking, supported by a scullery and temperature-controlled wine cellar. Nearby, a dedicated wellness retreat means steam, cold water and recovery rituals need not involve leaving home. The main bedroom and guest suite are also positioned on this upper level. Downstairs, the house changes character again. A second full kitchen, living room and laundry allow this level to function with genuine independence for adult children, extended family, guests or live-in support. Two further bedroom suites sit alongside the gallery, entry and three-car garaging. Then there is the courtyard. French limestone paving surrounds the magnesium pool and inground spa. Tropical planting creates enclosure, an outdoor copper shower adds another layer, and the cabana - complete with copper bar and featuring a marble bar top - makes the pool area somewhere to spend from the afternoon through to late evening rather than simply somewhere to swim. An eight-person lift connects the levels, while smart technology, solar and battery storage, underfloor heating, ducted heating and cooling and acoustic glazing quietly take care of much of the practical work behind the scenes. The Quay gives you two very different ways of living in one remarkable place. Outward to the water. Inward to complete privacy.
