The Nielsen
Year
December 2024
Address
Fig Tree Rd, Vaucluse NSW 2030
Cradled by the harbour and anchored in its 1914 bones, the new-look Nielsen Kiosk sheds its past divisions for a freer, saltier rhythm of coastal life. It’s one generous gesture now - an all-in-one beachside escape where swimmers, sun-chasers and spritz-sippers all find their rhythm under one roof.
Materials speak in harmony - mango gelato mosaic floors lead the way, wrapping around curved counters rendered in sun-softened microcement. Zesty ceramic brick trims catch the light like citrus on skin, while cane, mesh and timber call back to summers past.
Blue-glazed tiles shimmer behind the bar like sea glass; floral lampshades bloom overhead in slow motion. Weathered marble, buttery timber joinery, and preserved stained glass give texture to the pause between swims. It’s breezy, but never bashful.
At once relaxed and romantic, this is not a place that mimics nostalgia - it owns it.
