The Hamptons-style home is a beloved architectural style, particularly among those who appreciate its classic and refined design. Originating from the picturesque seaside communities of Long Island, New York, these homes are renowned for their timeless appeal. These stunning builds which are known for spacious interiors and generous balconies, promote indoor-outdoor living, as well as entertaining and relaxation, which makes them a popular choice for an Australian family home.
One outstanding example of the Hamptons style can be found on Lake Mulwala, NSW built by the award-winning construction company Hadar Homes. The residence is a breathtaking exemplar of the style, while indoor and outdoor furniture by Australian and European brands from Cosh Living come together, creating a cohesive and elegant ambience.
Hadar Homes, who specialises in constructing high-end homes, worked closely with their client to create a luxurious, open-plan holiday residence that fully embraced its location, the Mulwala lifestyle, and climate. With a distinctive, white-painted weatherboard façade, the home instantly evokes the iconic Hamptons style.
