Port Douglas QLD 4877

The design is an inspiration which has to be seen to be believed.
It was the brain child of the owners in collaboration with the young up and coming Sydney architect Maurice Patton..
They have achieved the apparently unachievable by flooding the house with gorgeous light but avoiding the glare and heat of the Queensland sun.
Floor to ceiling windows including an atrium from the second floor, offer a view over the elegant salt-water lap pool to the wooden gate and the ancient Malaleuca trees which shield the house from the prevailing winds.
Your guests will wheel their bicycles through that gate and ride happily along famous Four Mile Beach with the azure Coral Sea on one side of them and waving palms on the other. Their ride will take them to the small bustling town of Port Douglas which abounds in restaurants offering everything from simple fish and chips to Poussin a l'Eau de Vie de Frontignon. Its fascinating shops cater for all tastes from a hippie caftan to beach and evening wear by Chanel and Yamamoto.
When they return they will sneak past you as you potter happily in your stainless steel kitchen, taking care to wash their feet before padding across the fabulous sand coloured tiles of the downstairs dining and sitting area. Up the warm maple stairs they will go to the wide timber floored upper corridor which, as it also has a fabulous view towards the pool, forms another sitting room with louvres offering the cool sea breezes. They may run a bath or take a luxurious shower in the enormous upstairs bathroom. Hopefully they will leave the equally enormous downstairs en-suite for you to use.
But why allow your guests to invade this tropical paradise? Keep it to yourself and enjoy it with your beloved. Tuck your darling in the Aston Martin and enjoy the Cook Highway's breathtaking curves until you reach your double garage. If your driving gloves are a little soiled you can sit with a bottle of Bollinger in the cool outside lounge area whilst they are washed in the discreetly placed laundry next to the garage.
Tali Tiga inspired by the famous Tali Beach in the Philippines.
Tiga Indonesian for 'the third' but not third class. This house is gold-plated first class from its elegant timber studded double doors at the front to the beach gate at the rear.
