Dee Why Headland - Open Homes Australia - Master Builders Award Winning Home
RELAXED BEACH CHIC
Built for everyday family comfort as well as entertaining friends, this Dee Why home shines in both areas. Our clients wanted a home that made the best possible use of their amazing location without over-developing the land with an overly large house.
This brief allowed us to work well within the complying development regulations and build a home that sits softly on the land.
Our specification of recycled timber beams (both internal and external), tallow wood decking boards allowed to weather grey, together with a neutral and organic colour scheme, will see this home age well in this beachside environment. Add to this our use of low maintenance steel gutters & roofing, powder-coated aluminium windows and nano coated easy-clean glass, means our clients can spend their time enjoying this home, rather than working to keep it clean.
A subtle, yet important aspect of this homes’ design is the creation of multiple outdoor areas that are each suited to different weather conditions, making the outdoors suitable for all seasons.
- the north facing ground floor deck is predominantly covered to provide summer shade as well as protection from the elements
- the north facing first floor deck is open to allow a perfect breakfast area in the morning sun or to soak up the sun on a winters day.
This home was awarded the winner of the 2018 Master Builders Excellence in Housing Awards in the '$500,000-$800,000Design & Constuct Category'
