The Coast House / Stacey Farrell Architect

The brief was to make the most of a rural site with coastal views and an abundance of wildlife...on a very small budget. The design evolved over the years as the owners camped on the site to get to know it, climbing trees to views from future floor levels. The clients wanted a discrete hideaway retreat that felt cozy and luxurious. The home had to be low energy use and low maintenance with cladding to support water collection. The home had to be able to be locked and left and used by others when the owners weren’t there. The home should be low impact and relocatable should sea levels rise.
