Described as one of Australia's quintessential beachfront homes, 'The Archer House' is a contemporary home that brings together bold raw materials, in a refined and tranquil open plan design.
Designed by the noted Tasmanian architect Craig Rosevear, the house is acknowledged as an outstanding piece of contemporary architecture and was awarded the prestigious architect's Wilkinson Award in 2001.
Built into the contours of the hill, this minimalist steel, glass and concrete pavilion offers a spacious open living design with a more secure podium below for bedrooms and bathrooms. Blessed with intimate views of the north end of Whale Beach 'The Wedge' the residence enjoys a private pathway frontage to the sand.
A property of this calibre redefines the concept of a beach house or coastal weekender and setting a standard for other properties to match.
