Aúra by Kamber: An Idyllic Indoor-Outdoor Modern Coastal Retreat

Located a stone’s throw from Burleigh Heads’ iconic beachfront, Aúra by Kamber is an unforgettable modern coastal Mediterranean residence, showcasing the hallmarks of open-plan living through a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Our tumbled aged brass finish beautifully complements its character, enhancing the warmth and refinement of a design that more than lives up to its ‘Aúra’ (Greek for ‘gentle breeze’) name.

A snug side entryway sets the tone for Aúra by Kamber, ideally showcasing our Sola Garden Outdoor Shower in tumbled aged brass. Italian Handmade Terracotta Breeze Blocks provide an earthy, warm tone. 

Inside, the home’s fully concrete construction allows for a striking sense of volume, with six-metre-high ceilings amplifying the open-plan living space.

A sunken lounge offers an impressive, much-sought-after focal point, softened by an inviting, tonal palette that redefines concrete’s traditionally cold aesthetic.

The ensuite off the guest bedroom showcases our tapware and shower fixtures, including the Thin Bench-Mounted Spout in tumbled aged brass, its evolving patina contributing to the layered character of this space. A unique earthiness is provided thanks to Japanese handmade tiles.

The character continues in the kitchen, with an island countertop defined by exquisite Sicilian Verde stone, its subtle detailing reflecting the surrounding greenery and complemented perfectly by our Elysian Kitchen Mixer in the same favoured finish.

Apart from its gentle breeze namesake, Aúra’s seamless indoor–outdoor flow is one of its signature elements, best expressed in the exterior living area. Here, stainless steel tapware intentionally mirrors the built-in barbecue, while integrated beer taps and a skylight framed by cascading greenery create a space designed for both relaxation and entertaining.

Biophilic design is a constant presence throughout, with lush intertwining greenery and a central olive tree visible from multiple vantage points within the home.

Back inside, a dining nook with integrated seating sits just off the sunken lounge, positioned to take advantage of the calming atmosphere. A dedicated wellness retreat features the same earthy, handmade Japanese tiles, complete with a heated plunge pool, an ice bath, and an indulgent sauna, adding another layer of quiet luxury, with the courtyard thoughtfully visible from the bedrooms above. It’s this level of considered detailing that defines Aúra, from stair rods that echo the pool fencing to a timber floating staircase that draws natural light from the wellness garden.

Upstairs, the sense of openness continues, shaped by voids, skylights, and expansive glass walls, alongside a suspended garden feature that extends that biophilic energy.

With a spectacular view of the canal, the primary suite introduces warmer, more calming tones, featuring a Bernice Light marble double vanity with rich reds, soft pinks and rust tones, paired perfectly with continued tumbled aged brass fixtures throughout.

It creates a calming sanctuary, perfectly distilling Aúra’s considered design, refined material palette and that same sense of a gentle, ever-present breeze throughout.
