Architect: Seeley Architects

About the project: When designing this inlet home, the architects drew inspiration from the surrounding native trees, sandy beaches and river estuary. You can also see elements of the nearby craggy coastal cliffs.

The design response has a sense of being ‘right for place’, with a material palate respecting and enhancing the locality, while recognising the harshness of its environment.
