Rieck Building Design wins 2021 TIDA Australia Designer New Home of the Year

Having a public reserve with beach access close by was a definite asset for this corner site. But it also raised issues of privacy both from both passers-by on the street and those accessing the reserve.

On top of that, there was a close neighbouring property, and a slope that had to be contended with.

The resulting design places all the home's main spaces at street level, with the L-shaped living areas wrapping round a north-facing central courtyard.

The lower level has been developed as a self-contained space for the owners' adult children.

A sawtooth design along one facade let's in eastern light while also making it difficult for passers-by to look back into the interiors.

And a combination of roof types adds interest to the street views – the East side having a butterfly shape and the South side having a sawtooth shape.
