Selected Project
McCliskie House
This modern home is nestled at the top of a cliff on a steep section with an amazing panoramic vista overlooking Tasman Bay. The house is on multiple levels and strung along the site in an east-west direction to maximise the views from every room and allow plentiful amounts of sunlight and daylight. Large over-hanging soffits provide shelter and shading to deck areas, with high level glazing providing continuity between the interior and exterior. Horizontality is emphasised, with slender deck edges and roofs that appear to float above the internal spaces. While the building may seem simple it has been planned with spatial feeling and textural warmth which extends the design quality well beyond the norm.
