Inside A Celebrity Holiday Home With Breathtaking Views of the Ocean (House Tour)

Letting their imagination run wild, the team at Nina Maya Interiors has created celebrity holiday home Residence F from the ground up. Located upon a hill, Residence F is afforded breathtaking views of the immaculate Sydney harbour bridge and city as well as sightlines across to Manly. Leading to the celebrity holiday home is a long driveway that offers seclusion and privacy to the inhabitants. Positioned at the end the drive is the residence, which slowly reveals itself before a landscaped walkway leads to a pivot door. Through the front door, the house tour slowly reveals the unique character, decor and interior design of the celebrity holiday home. In the centre of the room is the custom-built staircase - its meticulously carved curve design, LED steps and skylight above frame the staircase as an art piece.
Involved in the architecture, planning, development, project management and interior design, Nina Maya was able to remain hands-on over the five years it took to create the coastal home. Though Maya Sternberg and Nina Maya Interiors followed the clients’ original brief, which was to create a world class space that was fitting of the location, the team took risks with the overall design. This was also backed by a close relationship with the clients as Residence F is the third property they have worked on together. This project was to be the clients’ showcase house, where they could entertain guests, spend time with family and friends and admire the city. As the celebrity holiday home is surrounded by heritage trees, the house has a monolithic feeling and is able to hold its own amid the landscape. To achieve this, the architect covered the entire building in Italian travertine, which gives the exterior decor a sense of gravitas, purpose and history while also allowing the breathtaking home to feel as if it’s always been there.
Shown in the house tour are several spaces where the owners can connect with the landscape. One such place is the unique glass conservatory on the ground level. Additionally, several organic-shaped skylights are designed to offer views to the treetops, while sliding glass doors emphasise seamless indoor-outdoor living. Part of the home’s iconic interior design is the kitchen, which has become the heart of the home. The kitchen also creates the design language for the home as the architect has selected an Italian stone with colour variations and a sinuous curve to fill the space.
Continuing to push the boundaries with each project - and Residence F is no exception - the team created a custom glass brick for the home’s exterior, which invites a unique quality of light into the interior. From the dappled morning light in the conservatory to the terrace where the sunset soaks the pool and courtyard with a warm glow, the celebrity holiday home grasps natural light at every opportunity. Through class and considered detailing, Residence F makes the most of its surrounds and provides an elegant base to vacation and entertain.

The crystal brick is a really nice feature. Well done!

[@Miss.A-B]

I love how she describes the features of the home and it makes sense. When you watch other luxury real estate agents or designers talk about some properties and their features they waffle so much and it can be confusing.

[@farisariffin8188]

love love loveee the crystal bricks!

[@vickimaiorano5763]

Absolutely stunning. Glass brick absolutely amazing. Everything is amazing.

[@ginafriend1690]

It's perfect in build, designing around trees and table top outdoors! Including all the curves, which softens it all! Looking up and down staircase is genius 👌 great Statement! Pool and View, fabulous! This home is Tops, in what could have been cold and stark, without these well thought out designs, touches and furniture choices. Impressive! ❤

We're glad you like it 🙌

Oh Wow wow wow. I love all the finishes, the furniture this conservatory is everything. ... The staircase with this skylight Wow

The most extraordinary thing about that house is the "on time and on budget" delivery. WOW! I love how it's nestled in trees from the front and then that big expansive view from the back.

[@mikecowie2553]

Wow, what a stunning home. And those glass bricks were quite a surprise.

[@sammyyammy7293]

Hands down most BEAUTIFUL home I've ever seen

[@retiredlogman]

Congratulations on so many fronts. Beautiful execution of design. Your development of crystal brick is a long needed expansion on the use of glass. Many designers use circular stairs, to execute it as done with the contrast of black and white is stunning. The video and editing are spot on. Thank you for sharing why I follow Australian designers.

This is one of the most beautiful houses i have ever seen so far! the glass/crystal brick walls were really stunning from the inside, especially the powder room (even tho I would have loved to have my shower with the glass bricked wall wow) but when I saw it from the outside wall i was B L A S T E D Congratz on finishing this in time, that is marvelous!

Every aspect of the house is not conventional the curved island in the kitchen the bathroom sink and the hand crafted pendent sand wall sconces are just a few examples of great work. Well done , and well done to your firm! Did you win an award for this project?

The attention to detail in this project truly sets it apart. While the designer's haven't won an award for this project yet, we're confident it will receive recognition very soon. Thank you for your support and kind words!

[@mpc5584]

Wow this is really really nice... I wonder which classy celebrity owns this! (but will keep her privacy)

[@Ren-1979]

Architecturally... impressive, especially the glass brick element. Overall, the rooms seem a bit dark and closed at times. On the other hand. With all that money I hope the clients are also doing something for the less fortunate people out there... Let's not forget that every day people die in the Mediterranean drowning in desperate search of a dignified life.

[@lostmotor]

This is a money no object brief! However, I think the restraint to make the home too opulent is almost spot on for me.

[@kimistri]

😍

[@crude75]

such a beautiful home, the façade, the stair case, the skylight, the garden, the views...such a well done home. I love everything except for the kitchen(the finishes is just not my style)

[@SeepedIn]

I've watched this tour an unhealthy number of times and I am pretty certain I just saw Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker struggle to open the front door to this dream residence on S5E9 of The Kardashians.

[@aaronlim13]

我发现了一个事，我们生活要过得好，我们的思维就得，一直想着和感觉，一切都是自然，不管什么是发生，是好是坏，你必须告诉自己没事的，然后最重要一点就是，享受每一件事(enjoy), 就算当下是遇到不好的事，享受他。一切都会转好。这比冥想还要厉害，应为意思，专注就是力量(energy) 我们都知道伤心时，很难去想开心，所以当下心情就享受那过程，把伤心转换成正面心情。很多事发生了都已成为过去，享受的事会增加，因为你的思维已经转换享受开心。

Well executed, if a little bland. Not a hint of personality. I'm sure still a fantastic place to be though. The views and the staircase are my highlights.
