Step Inside Casa De ó Relaxed Modern Coastal Living, Thoughtfully Crafted
Casa De ò, located in the charming coastal suburb of Sorrento, is set amongst picturesque waterfront homes and a serene atmosphere. Making a bold yet refined statement, the residence commands attention with its striking façade — a true expression of modern coastal design.
Designed by building designer Michael from Sykes Design, with interiors by Bree from Poppy Design, and beautifully brought to life by Hnkn, the home is a considered collaboration of architecture, interior vision, and craftsmanship.










Designing with Vision:
Michael from Sykes Design
We caught up with Michael from Sykes Design to discuss the design brief for this stunning Sorrento project.
The clients wanted something modern with a relaxed coastal holiday vibe. “Privacy was a key consideration,” Michael explains, “given the home’s position on the main road. But it was equally important to capture the Gold Coast skyline views, particularly at night. That view really became the heart of the home.”
When asked about his favourite space, Michael doesn’t hesitate. “The master suite is a complete experience,” he says. “From the walk-in robe, which is every woman’s dream, across to the custom bedhead, and the spacious ensuite that perfectly showcases the entire skyline, it’s a space that truly defines modern coastal luxury.”




Where Light Meets Form: Sculptural Illumination for Every Space.
We were delighted to discover a curated selection from Three Balls Red, where eye-catching Orb Air lights in a mix of frosted and clear finishes come together as a sculptural statement, beautifully flooding the void with light and complementing the interplay of concrete, glass, and black balustrade finishes.
As you step into the incredible master suite, it’s not just the skyline views that captivate — the custom-made bedhead, paired with the stunning We Ponder Puddle lights, elegantly complements the bed, adding a refined touch of sophistication to the space.





Modern Design with a Coastal Heart.
The master ensuite is a serene retreat, bathing in natural light and framing breathtaking skyline views. A harmonious blend of rose gold accents and a soft, warm timber palette creates an inviting atmosphere, balancing modern sophistication with gentle, calming tones. Each bathroom carries its own distinctive character, with some featuring a splash of serene colors that add personality and a sense of tranquility to the space.








Luxury, Nature, and the Art of Outdoor Living.
Stepping outside, you’re immediately embraced by a dreamy poolside sanctuary. A sunken lounge, nestled at the heart of the pool and complete with its own fire pit, beckons you to unwind. Natural materials and earthy tones define the outdoor palette, while carefully curated pops of color bring warmth and personality, creating a space that is both inviting and effortlessly sophisticated.







Emo Glam
Forget playing it “safe” - this is full-on mood lighting.
Deep tobacco velvets, smoky glass, and vintage brass fixtures bring theatrical flair that’s sultry without trying too hard.
Our creative director Jas’ tip is to mix a sculptural brass pendant with plush velvet cushions for maximum drama that still feels cosy.

Touch Me Textures
Our TBR interior team believes your home should feel like a second skin — soft, inviting, and tactile.
Boucle, suede, aged leather, and hand-thrown ceramics create an irresistible sensory experience. Run your fingers over a boucle throw or pop your glass of vino on a textured ceramic coaster, and you’re instantly grounded in luxury that feels real.
