Internally, the living and dining spaces are open and flow onto generous deck areas that look out through the tree canopy and over Pittwater. Timber floors and paneling throughout provide natural warmth and tactility. The owners love to cook and entertain so the combined kitchen, living and dining space is the emotional and geographic centre of the house. Retractable sliding doors that are fully concealed when open flank this space and create an expansive open corner that allows seamless flow from inside to outside. To provide continuity with the outdoors, the sandstone cladding is brought inside for the lobby walls and fireplace. In addition to three bedrooms and a master suite in the front pavilion. A ‘secret’ mouse door off the corridor gives kids-only access to a bunkroom that can sleep eight if children’s friends or all the grandkids sleep over.
