Aside from making a striking statement, the ‘winged’ roof provides extra shelter over the outdoor areas, as well as filtering the bright Australian sunlight to the rooms within.

The 4 bedroomed home has a lower level guest suite that includes a kitchen and living space, plus a generous deck outside of the en suite sleeping quarters. Across from here, another bedroom can be found beyond the central garden and courtyard that is utilized as a home gymnasium. After a work out, a nice relaxing soak will ease the muscles in an outdoor bath tub.

A 22 meter lap pool is visible from the large kitchen, where a timber island forms a stylish centrepiece. Beyond the kitchen, an mezzanine level holds a home office, which also incorporates a handy sleep space, that is accessed via a step ladder.

The upstairs of the main home is designed to appear as a number of timber boxes, where a large timber door reveals a lofty open plan space with curved ceilings 7 meters high above. Views of the ocean can be relished from this elevated location, whilst kicking back in a sophisticated yet serenely uncomplicated interior.

A spacious deck runs off the living area, providing a great place for entertaining guests, enjoying an al fresco meal, lounging under the sun and following around to the swimming pool for a refreshing dip.

The glazed walls of the building create a smooth indoor-outdoor connection.
