This coastal home seamlessly blends with its natural surroundings, fostering a symbiotic relationship between inhabitants and environment. Embracing the coastal lifestyle, it features an outdoor shower, timber deck, and pergola for ultimate relaxation. The carefully curated native Australian landscape garden enhances the connection to nature with meandering pathways, stone boulders, and native grasses. Constructed from robust materials of corrugated steel and hardwood shiplap cladding, the home is built to withstand the harsh coastal climate, aging gracefully alongside its environment. Its highly efficient design includes passive solar principles, PV solar panels, rainwater capture and reuse systems, and electric car charging capabilities, setting a benchmark for sustainable living.

As a renovation project to an existing heritage home, it can sometimes be challenging to reach our carbon reduction targets. The existing house had a low energy rating due to lack of insulation and high performance glazing, while also being powered by a gas hot water system and heated by a gas-powered hydronic system.
