Jasper

Jasper was designed for an exposed coastal site where wind, salt, and sun all needed to be taken seriously from the first sketch. The home is anchored by a low, robust form clad in standing-seam metal — chosen specifically for its resistance to coastal weathering and its low long-term maintenance. Internally, the plan opens generously to ocean views on the western edge while remaining enclosed and protected on the windward side, creating a building that genuinely understands its environment rather than fighting it. A deep covered terrace mediates between the harsh exterior conditions and the calm interior, giving the family a usable outdoor space year-round regardless of weather. Natural materials — spotted gum decking, raw blackbutt joinery, and locally quarried stone — bring warmth against the more industrial cladding palette. Jasper is proof that coastal homes don't need to compromise on either durability or beauty.
