INTERNALLY
The house is very zonal, with Living areas at front and Sleeping areas at rear. Openings are specifically positioned for optimum cross-ventilation. To assist this process, ceiling fans are present in all rooms. Timber-look strip flooring was chosen for its low maintenance and heat absorbing properties (when slab is exposed to Winter Sun). The Rammed limestone, a great insulator is also providing an attractive maintenance-free backdrop, now sealed it will never need to be painted.

LIVING / KITCHEN / MEALS
Entry from Northern Pergola takes you through Bi-folds into large open plan living area with meals & large kitchen. The Kitchen enjoys ocean glimpses & overlooks the sunset Terrace. The kitchen is well appointed with a walk-in Appliance Station/ Pantry & built-in shelving to each end of the Island Bench. The Living area has a built-in tiled brick Ledge which houses TV, stereo and daybed. This Ledge also acts as a thermal bank in Winter which stores heat absorbed during the day & re-radiates heat at night.
