Poised above the coastline yet deeply connected to the site, this award-winning residence by James Fraser of MORA articulates a rare harmony between architecture and environment - a masterful expression of contemporary Australian design. The sculptural forms of ancient Angophoras frame due north views across Putty Beach to the headlands and Pacific, fostering a sense of unbroken connection to the outdoors, while underpinning the feeling of living in the landscape. Beautifully planned with minimalist forms and an environmentally responsive design, the residence engages simply and eloquently with the bushland site; concrete, steel and timber present elegant yet robust forms, while finely detailed interiors add tone, drama and scale.
Bordered by Bouddi National Park on over 2,000sqm, this is a home of genuine distinction. The interiors unfold across a generous open plan, where terrazzo-finished concrete floors and full-height glazing draw the eye outward to the ocean beyond. A streamlined kitchen of considered precision anchors the living space, while the dining and living zones flow naturally to deep sheltered decks. The bedrooms are quietly positioned for privacy; the primary suite resides at the rear of the main floor, with two additional bedrooms and bath placed on the lower level for extended family and guests. Throughout, the hand of a skilled architect is felt in every detail - in the way light moves through the day, in the proportions of each room, in the sense that nothing is accidental and nothing is wasted.
