Why everyone is talking about this old beach shack in quiet coastal town: 'Truly magnificent' Dreamy family home in Middleton SA has pink exterior designed to fade into the sunset READ MORE: This little stone cottage looks straight out of a Monet painting By Louise Allingham For Daily Mail Australia Published: 23:39 EDT, 15 June 2024 | Updated: 23:40 EDT, 15 June 2024 e-mail 1 View comments Advertisement A tiny red-brick house in a quiet coastal town has been transformed into a dreamy candy-coloured family home that immediately catches the eyes of passersby. The ombre pink weatherboard home, named Sunkissed Higgins, is in Middleton and was designed to mimic the sunset on the south coast of South Australia 's Fleurieu Peninsula just over an hour from Adelaide . Designer Chris Rowlands of architect and director at RAD Studio was enlisted to create the young family's dream home drawing inspiration from their favourite coastal holidays, the surrounding landscape and the local community.
Speaking with FEMAIL, Chris explained why he and the owners, Adam, his best friend of 30 years, and his wife Chloe, who live there with their two young sons, opted for the pink gradient on the exterior. 'We're all eighties babies and a lot of the imagery that went around during that era had a lot of colour vibrancy. The inspiration was drawn from the 80s vapor-wave sunset imagery – the sun sets directly behind the home,' he said.
