The brief
The client wanted a low-maintenance holiday home tuned for the coastal climate — generous shading, cross-ventilation, and finishes that age gracefully in salt air.
Scope of works
- Raised plinth foundation for ventilation and termite protection
- Block walling with lime-rich render finish
- Deep timber-framed veranda with stone paving
- Hardwood doors, windows and built-in furniture
- Pitched tile roof with generous overhangs

Challenges & how we handled them
Salt-air durability
Hardware specifications were upgraded to marine-grade across hinges, locks and external fixings to avoid early corrosion.
Outcomes
- Hand-finished hardwood joinery delivered on schedule
- Client used the home in the first holiday season after handover
