A massive gable roof draping the first floor makes this two-story house feel more like one.
Crump played with the traditional gable roof form common to Australian farmhouses and transformed it into something entirely modern. The house’s three distinct ridgelines follow each other in succession, their simple contours conjuring a cartoon lightning bolt. The wood cladding covering the exterior also lends the house an impenetrable feel, heightening the surprise visitors experience upon entering and seeing its open, seaside views.
A view from the top of the main residence’s staircase reveals a serene internal courtyard situated between the garage and the home.
