Kate Waterhouse’s Mosman home has a way of making time slow down. An ease that translates into a sanctuary, it’s a space built for living in, not just looking at.

Her alfresco dining and poolside areas are the heart of it. Easy, warm, and effortlessly pulled together, it’s the kind of outdoor space that earns its keep across every season.

From the beginning, I wanted the home to feel relaxed but still refined, beautiful but completely liveable. It was important that it wasn't too precious, a space where sandy feet, kids, friends, and our dog are all party of the story.

Poolside, the Rowe Sun Lounges anchor the space with a confidence that feels understated. Shaded by the Malfy Umbrellas and framed by palm trees, it's a space that earns its keep in every season. “Having beautiful, comfortable furniture makes such a difference. It draws you outside and makes the space feel just as inviting as indoors.”

I love entertaining, but I always keep it relaxed and easy. It's about creating a beautiful setting without it feeling overly formal, long lunches, simple but delicious food, and everyone feeling comfortable.
