Combining sustainable design with relaxed coastal lifestyle
Tugun‘s beachside lifestyle, established homes, smaller blocks and tightly positioned properties create unique opportunities – and challenges – for homeowners. Many properties sit on relatively compact blocks, making thoughtful use of space particularly important. Good design needs to make every part of the site work harder, balancing privacy, natural light, airflow, indoor-outdoor living and functional space without compromising the character of the home.
Properties closer to the beach may require greater care in building material selections and detailing, while homes near major roads and the airport can have additional traffic or aircraft noise considerations. We take these factors into account when planning glazing, insulation, ventilation, shading and the building envelope.
For Tugun’s established homes, renovations and extensions can provide an opportunity to significantly improve layout, indoor-outdoor connection, energy efficiency and everyday comfort without losing the advantages of an established coastal location. For new homes and knockdown rebuilds, these elements can be included from the very beginning.
