Title:: Hall Cherry House
Building Designer:: Jennifer Binns Design

The Hall Cherry House is a beach house for shared holiday time with family and friends. The layout was designed to facilitate relaxed connection but also provide an opportunity for quiet space and separation and meet the practical requirements of a sandy beach house. An insulated polished suspended concrete slab provides thermal mass for solar gain from the extensive northern oriented double glazing and houses a hydronic heating system powered by a wood boiler with an ancillary heat pump water heater. Roof-mounted solar photovoltaic panels and battery storage enhance the self-sufficiency of the house. A linear layout provides for cross ventilation and connection between ocean views to the north and natural bushland views to the south.
