The ground floor is carefully zoned, with the primary bedroom positioned privately to the front and the kitchen, meals, living opening to the rear. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms are accompanied by a dedicated activities space, creating a clear separation between personal and shared family zones.

An established tree retained to the front courtyard filters dappled light along a lush side entry path, creating a sense of calm upon arrival. This connection to nature is reiterated throughout the house, with glimpses to greenery captured in each space.

A dramatic entry begins at the foot of a grand staircase set between two large retaining walls, with the view gradually coming into frame on ascension. A large picture window at the top reveals the views that lie ahead, and as one moves into the main living space, a sweeping, intoxicating vista of sand dunes and coastal parklands awaits.

At its core, the design works as a viewing platform from which to observe and appreciate nature.  On still days, the pavilion-like structure opens up to embrace the weather and the landscape. When the weather calls for staying indoors, the interior provides a warm sanctuary to witness the outside world.
