Clareville

This new home on Pittwater has an L-shaped plan, to capture the best views and aspects to the North. The mono-pitch roofs, mirror the slope of the site, allow for cross ventilation and morning light, whilst revealing the beautiful angophoras behind the site. The main living areas are positioned around a roofed deck area that can be semi-enclosed by fly-screens. The deck is a natural extension of the internal spaces, allowing the doors to remain open and the inhabitants to move seamlessly between indoors and outdoors. The use of recycled timber beams above the steel softens the overall appearance of the building and coupled with the green-grey colour scheme, blends in with the surrounding trees and vegetation.
