Northern Beaches Cliff House
Northern Beaches Cliff House
Floorplan: 2 Bed + 1 Bath.
Situated on a sloping site, the module lightly touches the earth and elevates off the ground on structural posts. With a size of 106 m2, the residence is minimal in size but grand in design intent. A green roof sits atop the structure, tying the built form beautifully back into the landscape.
