CHASING the SUN

Chloe Tozer, founder and creative director of Clo Studios, welcomes us into her enchanting Sunshine Coast residence, writes Samantha Stewart

In the realm of creating your dream home, placing trust in the process is paramount. Just ask Chloe Tozer, the founder of luxury boutique and interior design studio atelier Clo Studios at Noosa, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. Like many great modern-day moves, Tozer and husband Jack Clissold used the pandemic to change up their living situation. Clissold, a builder and surfer, had his heart set on a location by the beach, while Tozer had a lush garden in mind. The two merged their non-negotiables and soon came across a double-brick, two-storey, four-bedroom home opposite the ocean in the quaint coastal village of Peregian Beach, just a 10-minute drive south of Noosa.

“Straight away I loved the large block – it’s just shy of 1000 square metres,” Tozer tells marie claire. “It has a beautiful garden [of olive trees and native plants], a long, winding driveway set back from the road, and a lovely Mediterranean feel we could easily work with.”
