Winner of the 2021 HIA Spec Home of the Year (Hunter), this award-winning residence—built by Construct Central Coast—showcases the power of collaboration between architect and builder.
 

Set into a steep hillside in the serene surrounds of Hardys Bay and Pretty Beach, this home was designed for a highly experienced builder–developer with a deep appreciation for quality design and refined finishes. The result is a site-responsive, thoughtfully executed family home that blends seamlessly with its bush-coastal environment.
 

The brief called for a home that would capture the surrounding natural landscape, appeal to the design-conscious buyer, and feel grounded in its setting. Natural materials were key to achieving this—Blackbutt timber shiplap cladding, standing seam steel, hand-selected clay bricks, and local sandstone all contribute to a home built to last both visually and structurally.
 

This project is a testament to practical luxury, timeless materiality, and environmentally responsive residential design on the Central Coast.
