  • Stakeholder management was challenging due to shear size and duration of project
  • The pool was strategically placed on a tiered section of the site to maximise views and create a seamless indoor–outdoor entertaining flow, complementing the home’s relaxed, beachside-inspired character.
  • Large-format glazing and multi-level living open plan living spaces required precise engineering and careful sequencing to maintain quality and schedule.
  • Innovative construction strategies overcame topographical and access constraints, delivering a home with exceptional natural light, fluid entertainment spaces, and a sophisticated coastal feel.
