Bar Beach, Newcastle
A considered wellness landscape has transformed the rear of this Bar Beach heritage home into a private retreat designed for relaxation, health and everyday wellbeing.
Constructed by the team at Brenton Smith Construction & Planning, the contemporary wellness zone has been carefully integrated with the character of the existing heritage property and pool. The landscape design creates a seamless connection between the home, pool and dedicated wellness spaces, including a refurbished existing pool with modern finishes and addition of sauna, ice bath, outdoor shower and private gym.
Warm timber screening provides privacy and introduces a natural texture that complements the home’s heritage character, while structured planting and subtle landscape lighting create a tranquil atmosphere throughout the day and into the evening. A timber composite deck forms the central outdoor platform, connecting the wellness area with the pool area to create a cohesive space for exercise, recovery and entertaining.
The result is a sophisticated coastal wellness retreat that balances contemporary functionality with the timeless character of the Bar Beach home creating a calm and private space to unwind, recharge and enjoy outdoor living.
