Large new home in Sydney’s southern beaches, with contemporary and textural details and a pitched roof as a nod to the traditional homes in this established street.

Northern orientation means the home is flooded with natural light, cosy in winter, cool in summer: heating and cooling are only required in this home for short periods each year.

The signature of this home is a feature wall in cement based paint that continues from front exterior to indoors, drawing the eye through the entry into the living areas.

Cedar battens are used for the verandah and for sliding screens across larger window openings for privacy and texture.

Sea breezes are captured via fulling opening floor-to-ceiling louvred windows.

The floors are Australian hardwood timber, adding texture, warmth and acoustic softening.

The pitched roof and high ceilings create a spacious, lofty feel.

The living space connects directly into the back garden, creating indoor-outdoor connection and a sense of visual uplift.
