Working in harmony with the complicated site was the key to success for this beautiful Castor Bay home.
Flood-prone and covered in weeds, the Castor Bay site had stumped multiple owners with it’s challenging features before Ben and Kylie Crawford purchased it.
The shower window is a favourite feature for owners Ben and Kylie, and builder Ray.
The home has plenty of outdoor living space to make the most of the beautiful bush location.
The stream was restored with 30 tonnes of hand-placed rock.
The cedar cladding blends in with the rich browns and greens of the surrounding bush, complementing the land rather than distracting from it.
A roof deck was added above the living space to maximise access to the sun.
