Overlooking Sydney’s lovely Little Bay, at the southern tip of Sydney’s eastern beaches, this design provides for upstairs living, large decks and partly enclosed breezeways, and is a cost effective yet powerful design for the site. As a bird lover and local ecologist, the client has included a unique design feature of a large aviary. Despite the south facing site, the design provides daylight to all habitable rooms of the house. Utilising appropriate design strategies, specifications and assemblage details, the house provides an equivalent cost to a purpose designed project or builder home, realising a dramatic and highly liveable contemporary house. MWA retains copyright of this particular design to allow it to be realised on other sites.
