Diamond Harbour

For this impressive hill build we were engaged by Marc, a leading architectural designer at South x Southeast Architects, to build his personal family home out in Diamond Harbour. We worked alongside Marc and Holly right from concepting stages to develop the initial concept design into something extraordinary. We helped with the overall buildability of the home and had a vital input into material choices and details to help save costs where we could without compromising on the architectural feel of the build.  The house is designed in two separate pods that are linked via a deck which extends down in a few different levels to a large entertaining area. Here there are 2 over wall sliding doors that lead inside to the main birch ply lined living area. The Matte Flaxpod cladding and mono pitched roofs blend into the surrounding hills and trees and compliment the stepped nature of the site. The house uses cantilevers and angles to help give it a "floating" look. Overall, a well-designed and well executed build. Both the clients and the team at dimension construction were very pleased with the results. Photographer: Ian Hutchinson
