Touring Sun-Drenched Serenity in Queensland

Photographer: Alyne Media

Let’s step inside Noosa Springs Drive: a beautiful balance of Mediterranean soul and coastal ease. The home unfolds like a warm invitation, full of texture, tone, and timeless character. It’s a place to feel stillness in a lakeside sanctuary; with oversized windows framing panoramic lake views, this home invites golden light and sunset hues into every room. From early morning to twilight, the home feels deeply connected to its surroundings, designed not just to be lived in, but to be felt.

Designed by Kristy Giumelli of Gmelli Design, Noosa Springs Drive is a testament to her studio’s signature style, with projects being timeless, tactile, and effortlessly refined. With a design language that fuses Mediterranean influences with contemporary Australian living, Kristy crafts spaces grounded in warmth, elegance and intentional detail. Let’s take a closer look inside.

From the moment you enter, natural light dances across curved walls and softly rendered finishes, creating a sense of calm that is both effortless and deeply intentional. In the heart of the home, a generous open-plan kitchen anchors the space, complete with sculptural pendant lights made from organic materials that echo the surrounding landscape. Woven shades, crisp white joinery and arched niches soften every corner, it’s a visual story told in layers of neutrals and natural finishes.

Natural light filters through cleverly placed skylights and expansive glazing, illuminating a palette of warm timber, polished plaster, and cool stone. The open-plan layout is designed around a central courtyard, allowing the home to breathe while offering privacy and sanctuary in equal measure. Lush landscaping and curated outdoor zones invite connection with nature at every turn.

The kitchen spills into a casual dining and living zone, where exposed timber beams overhead add a grounding architectural rhythm. Beneath them, a trio of bar stools, a stone island bench, and thoughtfully placed styling details. Think oversized vases, woven trays and warm wood accents; they bring the space to life without ever feeling overdone. Everything here is perfectly considered, yet deeply relaxed.

From a curved built-in lounge that wraps around a minimalist fireplace, to quiet nooks dressed with wall sconces and arches, the interiors feel custom and especially unique.

The bedrooms carry the same softly spoken luxury. Plush textiles in muted, sandy hues pair with sheer drapery and large windows that look out toward greenery and water. Bathrooms feel like a Mediterranean day spa, with arched doorways, handmade tiles, natural stone vanities, and a free-standing bath positioned for serenity.

In every space, Noosa Springs Drive manages to strike the perfect balance: grounded yet refined, earthy yet elegant, private yet open to the landscape beyond. It’s a celebration of slow living, elevated design and natural beauty, all wrapped up in one breath-taking residence.
