Welcome to the ultimate beachy getaway at Great Dane House! Just a stone’s throw from Point Lonsdale beach front, this two-story, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is a haven of relaxation and style. As soon as you step into the Great Dane House, you’re greeted by an eclectic mix of furnishings from Great Dane, vintage collectibles, and even a Hastens bed for the perfect night’s sleep. The house is the brainchild of Anton Assaad, founder of Great Dane, and his creative director partner. They fell in love with the property at first sight and transformed it into the charming beach house it is today. Each room is a treasure trove of unique items, collected over 21 years of Great Dane’s existence. From Ittala Glassware and vintage Japanese ceramics, to a fireplace from Belgium and old family Persian rugs – there’s a story in every corner. The design is a delightful blend of contrasts, with cement sheet bathrooms, wood panelling, and curtains that let in just the right amount of dappled sunlight. The bathrooms are a mix of English brass and sage fixtures, set against cement for a modern twist. The master bedroom is the cherry on top – a peaceful sanctuary with a custom Gemla Fabrik bed head, a high-end HASTENS bed, and a one-off cabinet by designer Antrei Hartikainen. So, whether you’re snuggling up on the vintage Borge Mogensen 2213 sofa, lounging in the Flaghalyard chair by Hans Wegner, or soaking in the Patricia Urquiola bathtub with views of the Moona trees, the Great Dane House is the perfect home away from home for your next beach getaway. Come on in and make yourself at home! Great Dane Furniture brings you the ultimate beach house experience. Over 2 levels, this 3 bedroom / 2 bathroom home is just a stroll away from Point Lonsdale beach front! Sleep on a Hastens bed and enjoy stunning furniture from Great Dane among other vintage collectible items. The space The Great Dane House is a very special collaboration between the founder of Great Dane, Anton Assaad and his long time partner and creative director of Great Dane. “It was so wonderful to realise such a unique and personal home together in such an amazing location amongst the Moona Trees and sand dunes of old Point Lonsdale.” The Design Duo purchased the house after viewing the property just once, the humble untouched tree house was sitting quietly amongst nature and they felt it was a perfect place to create The Great Dane House. The home is filled with layers and textures and a unique personal collection some old, some new, much of the pieces collected over the last 21 years of Great Dane. They have finally found their home! The feeling is of an intimate home with thought and consideration in everything, from Ittala Glassware, vintage Japanese ceramics, a fireplace from Belgium, a vintage Borge Mogensen 2213 sofa, Flaghalyard chair by Hans Wegner, all sitting on old family Persian rugs. The interior architecture is warm and filled with unexpected finishes, contrasting finishes that create a feeling of harmony and warmth. Cement sheet in the bathrooms, wood panelling through out, the curtains that allow a subtle dappled light to stream through while maintaining a feeling of privacy. Thoughtful bathrooms with English bathroom fixtures in brass and sage, combined with the cement sheet. The master bathroom is generous and vast with the Patricia Urquiola bathtub that has views through the 100 year old Moona trees. Of course a huge shower, Arne Jacobsen tapware and textured sink from Artedomous, all set against the Cement sheets with a Vitruvio illuminated mirror. The master bed room is sublime and sanctuary, with a custom bed head from Gemla Fabrik set with a HASTENS bed, have you ever dreamed of waking up in a Hastens bed! The bed is covered in linen from Bedioun Societe and a one off Cabinet/wardrobe was commissioned by maker/designer Antrei Hartikainen and sits perfectly in the master bedroom.
