Kioloa, NSW

Orientated to enjoy the dramatic views of the South Coast looking across to Snapper Point and Merry Beach, this holiday home provides all the essentials for a coastal getaway.

The undercroft of the building elevates the modules for the perfect viewing platform, allowing our clients to keep an eye on the surf at all times. The raised nature of the modules allows for a carport to tuck neatly under the home as well as providing entry to the home through the rear deck. As this is a holiday house, a discrete entry also provides for better security when the house is unattended.

It was important for our clients that the house felt inclusive, with a focus on spending time together, having fun and surfing, rather than overcapitalizing on opulent bedrooms – the four bedrooms are the same size and each share a bathroom.

The rear decking area is a sun trap away from the prevailing winds but it was also important to align the window openings so that water views we still captured right through the building.

Neighbouring buildings were close on both sides. To ensure privacy at ‘foot’ window was adopted along the hallway which allows light in and art to be hung above. The rear deck returns around the eastern side to provide clear views to the surf. A perforated concrete block wall was installed to provide privacy to the neighbour as well as a wind break whilst dining outside .
