Stepped, folded, and layered, this home shapes space through terraced forms that extend and retreat—catching light, creating privacy, and carving out calm within a 341sqm site.

Designed to accommodate four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living areas, a two-bay garage, caravan parking, and a private garden, the plan is bold yet balanced—spatially efficient without feeling constrained. Volumes shift, ceilings lift, and light moves effortlessly through the home, creating moments of both openness and retreat.

Materials are timeless and considered. White plastered forms ground the architecture with stillness and weight. Above, cedar cladding brings warmth and texture, coloured to reflect the coastal tones of nearby dunes. Inside, oak floors, vaulted ceilings, and full-height glazing meet soft linen curtains and seamless detailing throughout.

A self-contained guest suite is concealed behind a pivoting wall—designed to function independently or vanish as a wall.

Beneath the simplicity is a quietly sustainable core: solar power, high-performance insulation, and passive design strategies ensure year-round comfort. Built with resilience in mind, the home is designed to weather change—offering lasting shelter and ease.

Terrace is architecture of restraint and clarity—where proportion, light, and material come together to create something both enduring and deeply livable.
