Designed for a young family, this home is located on a tight, sloping site in a beachside suburb of Newcastle. Expansive views of the city and beyond are afforded towards the north, rear of the site. From the street this contemporary house provides privacy and protection, while making reference to classic beachside cottages of the past through the use of linear glazing units, lightweight cladding materials, large eaves and interlocking building forms.
