A Retired Couple’s Hillside Home Is an Ode to Laid-Back Coastal Living

Retirement often brings the opportunity to start afresh, and to rethink one’s lifestyle unburdened by the constraints of work. For recent retirees Dave and Donna, it offered the chance to move closer to their children and grandchildren on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia. They found an empty site on Wollongong’s Coal Coast and decided to build a home that could cater to extended family visits while allowing them to embrace their new seaside setting and celebrate their love of outdoor living.
