Seal Rocks is a raw and ruggedly beautiful place on the NSW North Coast. It is surrounded by National Park, accessed by a dirt road and has little to no services. The Seal Rocks House has been designed and built by Castlepeake to fit with these conditions. Materials including rammed earth, concrete, plywood and steel have been left in their raw state to create a place where you go to get 'back to basics'. Likewise the planning is simple; arranged in two pavilions forming an 'L' shape around a private, grassy courtyard which opens to the National Park beyond.

Our aim is to design site specific houses that improve the lives of our clients. Well proportioned spaces and forms which closely relate to the attributes of a site are life changing for the people who use them everyday.
Our method is to rigorously and logically analyse each site and brief and to arrange each response in an efficient and artful way. Central to the analysis and response is a thorough understanding of the client and their requirements.
Castlepeake Architects is a small, design focused, Sydney based architectural practice with many years experience in all types of residential architecture including new, altered and heritage houses. Our small size allows director input into every project from initial design to completion on site. We are a close knit and passionate team with a focus on design excellence and client satisfaction.
