Email: wendybergs@gmail.com The Tathra Residence maximises the magnificent ocean views, northern orientation and difficult sloping block to provide a highly energy efficient ‘forever home’ for its residents. With a modernist inspired aesthetic, the home is terraced up the hill enabling all the living areas and bedrooms to face north to embrace both the warm winter sunshine and the water views. The terraced design minimises cut and fill on the site and allows for living areas on the top floor to access level ground to the rear of the home, which backs onto nature reserve. Every room in this home has doubleglazing that allows for winter sun to warm the rooms and retain the heat throughout the day. Wide eaves, north/south cross flow ventilation and sea breezes keep this home comfortably cool in the summer.
