Project Overview
This coastal weatherboard home was designed as a functional and welcoming family residence, created for an active household that values connection, shared meals, and time together. The brief focused on generous circulation, well-considered living and bedroom layouts, and a warm, relaxed atmosphere that supports everyday family life. With a strong emphasis on light, flow, and comfort, the home balances practicality with a timeless coastal character.

Our Role
This was a Design & Build project, delivered by SWBC in collaboration with Richard Norrish from Designs and Services. Working closely with the clients alongside our design team, we guided the project from early design through to construction. A key challenge was creating a generous upper-level space for the children without imposing on the street frontage. This was resolved by designing the upper floor predominantly under the main roof form, maintaining a modest street presence while allowing the second level to express itself more fully at the rear. Through careful planning and collaboration, we delivered a home that feels balanced, family-focused, and well resolved.
