Headland House 

Located on an elevated site on Moffat Headland, this home enjoys expansive ocean and mountain views to the north, as well as ocean and bushland views to the south.

Designed to accommodate the evolving needs of a family, the layout allows for varying types of occupation. At times, it may host just two occupants, while at others, it can comfortably accommodate extended family. The scale, proportion, and flexibility of the spaces have been thoughtfully considered to support these diverse needs.

The home is configured over three levels, with the main living volume positioned at the top. This space features a carefully designed configuration of the kitchen, dining, and lounge areas to maximize lines of sight to the ocean, ensuring that stunning views are a focal point of daily living. A huge cantilever extends over the balcony, providing an impressive outdoor space that enhances the connection to the surroundings. A low-profile roof floats above, adding to the home's modern aesthetic while ensuring unobstructed views. A triple-height void connects the entrance to the living space, creating a sense of openness and airiness. Significant attention has been given to the entry sequence and stair arrangement to ensure it is both inviting and welcoming.

The form and materiality of the home are bold, featuring double-storey expressed board-formed concrete walls that anchor the structure to the ground. Warm timber and dark lightweight accents float above, adding visual interest and contrast.
