Coxs Bay House by Guy Tarrant Architects

Inside, red brick is juxtaposed with a cedar ceiling and black slate underfoot.

A media room and library is located on the upper level; stepping down the site the main living area and kitchen open up to the park beyond.

Above the kitchen, clerestory windows meet a floating cedar ceiling, while floating timber cabinetry creates an airy lightness.

Glazing along the eastern elevation frames views of the reserve beyond.

Darker stained timber in the living area and hall repeat the motifs of the external street elevation

The pool and central courtyard offer both privacy and views, achieving a sense of openess that belies its footprint.

The lower level is accessed via external stairs.

The external red brick weaves into the exterior in the self-contained lower level dwelling.
