The siting of the home has been carefully considered to take into account the natural features and levels of the site. The design comprises two forms, a single storey element for the garage and kid’s zone and a double storey element for the main living area, bedrooms and utilities. The two forms are designed to complement each other while providing an opportunity to reduce the visual bulk of the building and generate distinct variation in building heights. The proposal incorporates a blend of materials that reference its coastal context, greyed timber cladding, natural stone, warm coloured render to match the stone, and light grey metal roofing. The materiality, building height and dual forms enables the house to integrate seamlessly into the surrounding streetscape.
