The design responded to a desire for a home that would allow a young family to have a seamless relationship with the native landscape of the site.
Coastal winds, high saline conditions, bush fire regulations and traffic noise were all notable factors in shaping a building form that cradles a central garden room on the bushland side of the dwelling.
The garden room became not only the pivot point for the communal spaces of the house but also an all weather outdoor living room whose activity creates the heart of the home.
