Some spaces feel considered. Others feel instinctive.
The Finn, styled by Vanessa Luff of Wild Rabbit Interiors for Alroe Constructions, is both.
Located in Mermaid Waters, this premium boutique development captures a refined, nature-inspired aesthetic where contemporary architecture meets organic softness. The result is calm, grounded and quietly confident.
A Language of Light and Texture
Vanessa’s approach is rooted in restraint and intention. There is no excess. No unnecessary ornamentation. Instead, we see light-filled rooms layered with texture, tonal warmth and subtle curvature.
Soft limestone surfaces meet pale timber. Sheer drapery diffuses the Queensland sun. Sculptural forms are allowed to breathe within generous negative space.
It is modern Australian coastal living, elevated.
Curves That Invite You In
At the heart of the living space sits the Noah Curved Occasional Chair.
Its rounded silhouette softens the architectural lines of the room while maintaining a sculptural presence.
Positioned against travertine and textured linen, the chair feels integrated rather than placed. Its organic form reflects Vanessa’s philosophy of bringing the outdoors inward, echoing natural shapes and gentle contours.
This is furniture chosen not only for aesthetic harmony, but for how it shapes the emotional experience of a room.
The Beauty of the Everyday
Styling in The Finn never feels staged. It feels lived with.
In the kitchen, Milo Counter Stools in natural timber sit effortlessly beneath a travertine island. Their curved backrests echo the home’s softened geometry while adding warmth against stone and plaster finishes.
Nearby, a simple Fara Linen Face Washer rests beside the ceramic sesame-glazed mugs and plates. A small detail, yet one that reinforces the tactile language of the space. Linen. Timber. Stone. Nothing is synthetic. Everything feels grounded.
These are the layers that make a space human.
An Intentional Design Philosophy
Based on the Tweed Coast, Vanessa Luff approaches interior styling with an organic and simplified lens. Her background in real estate, combined with the design and build of her own homes, including Miramar and the award-winning Wild Rabbit at Kingscliff, has shaped a philosophy rooted in honesty and nature.
Earthy textures. Light-filled rooms. A seamless dialogue between indoors and out.
The Finn is a continuation of this ethos. It is a home that feels expansive yet intimate, refined yet relaxed.
A Shared Appreciation for Natural Living
At KULALA Living, we are drawn to projects that prioritise material integrity and emotional experience over trends.
The Finn is a reminder that contemporary luxury does not require excess. It requires balance. Texture. Light. Intention.
Vanessa’s work reflects a quiet confidence that resonates deeply with our own design values.
