Designed to fit onto small steeply sloped site and in a nature conservation area, the small two bed-roomed house had to adhere to strict height restrictions and building guidelines. Cut and fill was minimized, topsoil stockpiled and the natural vegetation restored once completed. Excavated stone was re-used as dry-stacked retaining walls Despite its relatively small size, the well designed open plan flowing living spaces; generous internal heights and large windows and sliding doors create a sense of spaciousness, uninterrupted indoor outdoor living whilst maximising views of the ocean frontage. The unique roof design allows for rainwater harvesting, with large fireplaces, gas and solar panels minimising reliance on the grid.
