HOME TOUR 02 Barefoot Oasis CM Studio’s transformation of Molong House captures Curl Curl’s laid-back charm in a refined, resort-style family home — where sun, surf, and serenity meet considered design and effortless indoor-outdoor flow.
SITCHU MAGAZINE With its golden sand, coveted surf breaks and laid-back energy, Curl Curl on the Northern Beaches of Sydney has a magnetic energy — sun-soaked and easy-going, like summer on repeat. It’s the kind of place where barefoot locals wander the streets, and entering the neighbourhood feels like stepping into a perpetual holiday. That’s precisely the feeling CM Studio wanted to bottle up in their transformation of Molong House, a five-bedroom family home that blurs the lines between everyday living and resortstyle retreat. Designed for a young family of four and their dog, the brief from the outset was clear. “We wanted the home to feel like a holiday villa, have a beautiful flow from indoors to outdoors, but feel really protected and private,” Mark Rowlands, Commercial Director at architecture firm CM Studio, explains. The team have created a sun-drenched, soul-soothing sanctuary that taps into the beachside charm of its surroundings while embracing a quietly luxurious escape from the world outside. Despite its breezy aesthetic, Molong House was built with serious backbone. Thanks to its exposed coastal vantage point, every material choice needed to weather the elements. “The home is built in a way that it has real strength on site,” says Mark. “It was imperative that it could withstand a strong southerly and still allow the family to use the home, flow from indoors to outdoors, and life would be uninterrupted.” CM Studio leaned into its signature palette of natural, tactile materials to bring the family’s resort-style concept to life. “We always work with a layered natural palette,” Mark says. “We wanted to explore deeper timber tones and layer up the stones with soft tumbled edges, beautiful bronze veining in the marble, hand-made terracotta tiles. We also use a lot of soft plaster in a beautiful putty tone. We like creating spaces and homes that are hardwearing and functional but tactile and feel really grounded and soft,” he adds. Drenched in natural light thanks to its northfacing rear, the property balances openness with privacy. “The southern side has the coastal view, but we controlled the openings out to the view, so the home still feels so private from the street,” Mark shares. Upstairs, the bedrooms on the first floor are serene and private. “While they are open to the void space and living below, they feel secluded and separated from the public spaces.” Meanwhile, a guest pavilion tucked into the garden offers visiting friends and family their own private area. And then there’s the pool — a dazzling metallic masterpiece that delivers serious wow-factor and a lot of fun. “The clients have young children, and like many families, entertaining and being around the pool is key,” Mark says. “The slide was a special element for the kids, and it’s been a real hit!” Sustainability was baked into the build from day one, with solar panels, multiple batteries, rainwater retention and double-glazed windows integrated seamlessly into the design. “Rainwater retention is a must — we always set this up with the garden watering,” Mark explains. “And because we have so much glazing, double-glazing was used to improve the performance of the glass.” With a clear distinction between public and private zones, the layout champions both connection and calm. “The site allowed us to create some beautiful spaces for the family to come together with friends and entertain, along with calm private spaces that allow for quiet contemplation,” says Mark. “With the renewed focus on lifestyle and wellness, it’s important for us to create calm and considered spaces for people to retreat to and recharge.” That connection to lifestyle is what makes Molong House feel so special. “The clients have a very outdoor-focused lifestyle — always enjoying the sun, swimming, surfing,” says Mark. “The house is set up so if you walk back from the beach, you can come into the home easily, drop off your sandy beach stuff, and head out to the outdoor shower or jump in the pool.” Mark says the clients were a dream to work with, and one of the most rewarding moments came after the project wrapped. “Visiting the family once they were living in the home, seeing how it operated and how they were able to enjoy the spaces created for them — that’s what we’re most proud of.” Explore More Stylish Homes Peek inside exquisite properties and boutique accommodation across Australia and hear what inspired the architects, interior designers and homeowners. sitchu.com.au/home-tours “We wanted the home to feel like a holiday villa, have a beautiful flow from indoors to outdoors, but feel really protected and private.” — Mark Rowlands Architect: CM Studio @cmstudio Builder: Bau Group Construction @baugroupconstruction Photographer: Anson Smart @smartanson Joinery: Saltwater @saltwaterjoinery Landscape Design: Dangar Barin Smith @dangarbarinsmith Words: Bella Brennan @bellarosebrennan

FOR THE FOODIES French-born chef Tristan Punnell has a thing for flavour, fire, and the wild beauty of Tasmania. At Le Coq in Bicheno, he spins French classics through a Tasmanian lens — think slow-roasted meats, local veg, and a healthy pour of cheek. With a decade of island cooking under his belt, he’s got both finesse and flair in spades. This recipe brings the soul of Le Coq to your kitchen: bold, beautiful, and made to impress (yourself most of all). You’ve been cooking in Tasmania for over a decade — how has the island shaped your flavour profile and philosophy in the kitchen? Tasmania has completely transformed how I approach food. My flavours now follow what’s available season by season. I’ve built strong relationships with local suppliers and come to deeply appreciate where ingredients come from and how they’re produced. It’s made me more mindful — especially about waste. I try to use every part of the product, respecting the care that’s gone into growing or raising it. With produce this fresh and vibrant, there’s no need to overcomplicate things; I let the ingredients speak for themselves. Let’s talk comfort food: what’s your ultimate winter dish, either to eat or to cook for someone else? French onion soup, hands down. Caramelised onions slowly cooked in butter and beef stock, topped with plenty of Gruyère and served with sourdough. It’s the perfect warming dish for a chilly day. Is there a particular supplier, farmer or forager who’s influenced your cooking? Absolutely — my vegetable supplier at Blue House Nursery, just 20 minutes from the restaurant, has a huge impact on the menu. 5 Minutes with Tristan Punnell Head Chef at Le Coq in Bicheno, Tasmania Magic Curries My cheeky pleasure. A family-owned Indian restaurant with butter chicken and mango curry to die for. It feels like visiting their home. Tristan Punnell’s top three Tasmanian restaurants and why? 1. 3. Each week, I receive a mixed box of whatever’s freshest and in season. It’s always a surprise, which keeps the menu exciting and intuitive — fully connected to the land’s offerings at that moment. And finally, food aside, what do you love most about a Tasmanian winter? The change of pace. Winter slows Tasmania down, and it allows me to slow down, too, and really enjoy the island. 41 Hampden Rd, Battery Point @magic_curries41 Sitchu 2. Faro Big fan of Mona. I really like how Mona is doing things differently and is not scared of being criticised. Best wallaby tartare I have ever had. 100 Elizabeth St, Hobart @las.ardina La Sardina Loca La Sardina Loca My favourite Hobart spot, hands down. Seasonal menus, beautiful space, lovely staff, and great atmosphere. 655 Main Rd, Berriedale @monamuseum Mona Museum With produce this fresh and vibrant, there’s no need to overcomplicate things; I let the ingredients speak for themselves. @lecoqbicheno lecoqbicheno.com Le Coq Bicheno

For dinner inspiration, food trends and roundups of the most delicious new recipes, visit sitchu.com.au/recipes Explore More Recipes Ingredients Method 1kg gourmet mushrooms (a mix like oyster, king oyster, shimeji, lion’s mane works beautifully) 100g cashews 5 shallots, peeled and sliced 2 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced 50ml brandy 100ml tawny or port 1 sprig of thyme Salt and pepper, to taste Vegetable oil, for cooking Roast the Cashews Preheat the oven to 140°C. Spread the cashews on a baking tray and roast for 40 minutes, shaking the tray halfway through to ensure even colour. Prep the Mushrooms Roughly chop the mushrooms into small pieces. The variety you choose will influence the final flavour, but a good mix brings depth and complexity. Sauté the Aromatics In a large pot, heat a drizzle of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook gently for 2–3 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Cook the Mushrooms Add the chopped mushrooms and thyme to the pot. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want the mushrooms to release their moisture, then begin to caramelise slightly to a light golden brown. Deglaze Pour in the brandy and port, allowing the alcohol to cook off and the flavours to concentrate, about 2–3 minutes. Blend Until Smooth Transfer the mushroom mixture and roasted cashews into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if required. Chill and Serve Spoon the pâté into a container and refrigerate until cool. Serve cold with crusty bread and fruit paste. We love pairing it with grilled sourdough and a touch of tawny jelly. Mushroom Pâté With Toasted Sourdough and Tawny Jelly SITCHU MAGAZINE

11 Why selling in the cooler months might work in your favour. Is Winter a Good Time to Sell Your Home? SITCHU MAGAZINE One of the biggest advantages of selling your property during winter is reduced competition. Many vendors wait until spring, leading to an influx of listings. Fewer homes are on the market in winter, so yours will have a better chance of standing out. Buyers still active during colder months are typically serious and motivated. When inventory is tight, your home won’t have to compete with the volume of listings that saturate the spring market. That often translates to more showings and faster offers. “As we approach winter, I think it’s important for vendors to think about the benefits of selling now,” says Belle Property’s Head of Victoria, Anthony Webb. “A lot of people delay the home-selling journey until spring. They think the flowers are coming out, green leaves and maybe some better light will present their home a little better. In my years of experience in real estate, you want to sell your property in isolation, not in competition. What I mean by that is you want to see your property when there is the least amount of properties on the market.” “We see every single year that there is actually a spike in prices when we enter those winter months,” continues Anthony. “A big part of that is because of the lack of properties for sale at that given time. It’s a way that you can have a little bit of an early mover advantage — take advantage of the lack of stock and make sure that you get a great result.” Are winter buyers more serious? Yes — winter buyers are not just browsing. Many face personal deadlines, such as job relocations or lease endings, which can lead to faster closing times. While the buyer pool may be smaller, those in the market are often more decisive and ready to act. Do financial or tax reasons play a role? Absolutely. Year-end tax planning can motivate buyers to purchase in winter. Those looking to benefit from mortgage interest or property tax deductions may be eager to close before the fiscal year ends — driving urgency and potentially faster sales. Does winter help create a more inviting home? Winter allows vendors to create a cosy, emotional connection with buyers. A warm retreat from the cold — complete with a fire and soft lighting — can showcase a home’s comfort and charm in ways other seasons can’t. Is the selling process quicker in winter? With fewer transactions taking place, inspections, appraisals, and mortgage approvals can move faster. Lenders and conveyancers often have more availability, leading to a smoother process. Can winter help you avoid spring market competition? Listing in winter allows you to capture early-bird buyers and potentially sell before the spring rush. If repurchasing, you may also buy ahead of spring price increases. Why winter can be a smart time to sell While it may not seem like the obvious choice, winter offers a strategic opportunity to sell. Lower competition, serious buyers, and a more relaxed pace make for strong conditions. For tailored advice and a personalised appraisal, contact your local Belle Property agent.
