Taren Point House
Set over a series of levels, the minimalist, angular aesthetic of this waterfront home, belies the complexity of its construction. Built in cavity brick with suspended concrete floors and roofs, the home is flooded with natural light thanks to the glass-framed clerestory roofs. In the main living areas, large glass doors slide into pockets within the wall cavity when opened, seamlessly linking internal and external entertaining areas. Among the hundreds of bespoke inclusions are the two-storey high louvre blades designed to shield the interiors from solar gain and provide privacy, openable roof sections, and open riser stairs constructed in steel with tiled treads. Externally, Stuart & Pierce constructed a detailed series of retaining walls, fences and planter boxes that link the property’s street frontage to the foreshore.

IF YOUR ARCHITECT CAN DESIGN IT, WE’LL FIND A WAY TO BUILD IT
Stuart and Luke have been working in residential construction since gaining their builders’ licences in 1999, and over that time have amassed a wealth of experience and expertise in a vast range of architectural styles and construction techniques.
This technical know-how is underpinned by a can-do attitude, a thorough understanding of structural principles, finely-tuned aesthetic sensibilities, and a genuine love for their craft. Stuart and Luke aren’t afraid to challenge conventional methods and will deploy a range of innovative techniques in order to meet an architect’s demanding design requisites, or challenging site conditions.
They also emphasise the importance of building sustainably and can advise on materials selections to optimise the performance of your home – in terms of energy efficiency, maintenance requirements, and the long-term value of the property.
