This house provides a retreat from the city, allowing its owners to enjoy the magnificent coastal bushland setting and time with family and friends. This is a true holiday home providing casual and informal living within flexible spaces, and reflects the owner’s desire to live as sustainably as possible.
The house needed to be flexible, at times a single bedroom retreat and other times expanding to house larger groups of family and friends. At the intersection of private home and guest quarters is the breezeway, a gathering place and focal point of the home, where relaxed conversations occur, food is shared while the views of the ocean or the bush are enjoyed.
The house was not to replicate everyday life, but designed to promote a casual informal lifestyle and the opportunity to be immersed in the beauty of the natural surroundings.
The owner’s passion for sustainable living was to be reflected in the design. Their desire was for a home ‘off-the-grid’ providing for its own power, water and wastewater management.
