INSIDE STORY

NINA AND DAVID’S HOME

WHO LIVES HERE?

Nina, an interior stylist and owner of Bungalow 55, her husband David, an investment banker, and their daughters India, 16, Poppy, 12, and David’s adult Australia-based kids, Georgia and Monty.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT IT?

Nina: “Being by the ocean, here you forget

about the stresses of work and city life.”

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY?

“A home should reflect the people who live there and their interests.”

WEEKEND RITUAL?

“We start the day with a two-hour walk and spend the morning at the beach. Then it’s a sausage sizzle or steak sandwich accompanied by a glass of rosé at the Whale Beach Surf Club. Simply heaven.”
