Set against the breathtaking backdrop of <\/span>Gerringong<\/span> in NSW, <\/span><\/span>The Pause<\/span><\/span> is more than just a coastal retreat\u2014true to its name, it offers a chance to unwind and embrace the art of relaxation. Created by Simone and Ben Mathews, founders of SOUL Home, this five-bedroom escape balances Australian coastal aesthetics with Bahamian architecture and Singaporean influences.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Relaxation and Connection<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Pause <\/span><\/i>effortlessly blends design and comfort, creating an inviting sanctuary. Indonesian teak plantation shutters, whitewashed walls, and lush landscaping set a tranquil tone, while natural light and sea breezes enhance the open-plan layout.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The kitchen, dining, and living areas encourage shared moments, with an oversized concrete island bench, rattan pendant lights, and polished concrete floors adding warmth and sophistication.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Designed for connection, the home\u00a0seamlessly transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces. At the press of a button, the dining and lounge area opens fully to the outdoors. The expansive deck, framed by tropical landscaping, invites alfresco dining.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Built to thrive in its coastal setting, <\/span>The Pause<\/span><\/i> features Balmoral fibre cement weatherboards, chosen for their durability and timeless appeal. These weatherboards not only withstand the coastal elements but also enhance the home\u2019s fa\u00e7ade with their clean horizontal lines and subtle woodgrain texture, creating a harmonious balance with the surrounding landscape.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Aesthetics and Function<\/b><\/h2>\n

Every detail of <\/span>The Pause<\/span><\/i> has been carefully curated to enhance its refined yet relaxed aesthetic\u2014including the hardware. Iver\u2019s <\/span>Baltimore Lever <\/span><\/a>in Signature Brass is the perfect complement to the home\u2019s coastal-inspired theme. Its slimline design blends effortlessly into the space, ensuring that style and functionality work in harmony.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The warm brass finish adds a subtle yet striking accent, echoing the soft, natural tones found throughout the home. Paired with crisp white walls and timber textures, the hardware enhances the sense of warmth and cohesion.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With its fusion of tropical influences, natural textures, and refined simplicity, <\/span>The Pause<\/span><\/i> offers a truly unforgettable escape. Whether unwinding in the master suite, gathering around the expansive dining table, or lounging by the lawn, every space is designed to inspire rest and connection.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
