Light-filled Caringbah residence blending Hamptons charm, modern design, and family-friendly living.

Designed and built by Ambient, 29 Drake Avenue, Caringbah is a vibrant, light-filled residence that reimagines the coastal Hamptons style with a distinctly Australian sensibility. Passive design principles underpin the entire home, ensuring both beauty and sustainability are seamlessly achieved.

At its core, a central garden courtyard brings lush greenery and natural light deep into the interior, encouraging cross-ventilation and fostering a strong connection to the outdoors. The north-facing backyard maximises solar warmth throughout the living areas, complemented by a generous swimming pool designed for family living, relaxation, and entertaining.

Inside, the home celebrates openness and scale. A popped-up ceiling in the main living zone enhances spatial drama while drawing the sky indoors, while double-glazed windows ensure year-round comfort and acoustic insulation.

From the street, a rooftop planter softens the architectural lines with cascading greenery, boosting kerb appeal and adding to the passive cooling strategy. The result is a residence that feels connected to its environment while maintaining an elegant and timeless street presence.

Every detail reflects Ambient’s philosophy—where design integrity meets everyday livability. This Caringbah home is a sanctuary that embraces light, enhances connection, and elevates the experience of modern coastal living.
