K HOUSE, KIAMA NSW

A beacon on a coastal bluff, K House presents a crisp white form in layered materiality.

In the New South Wales coastal hamlet of Kiama, K House is designed for place, functionality and beauty.

Positioned on a cliff overlooking the ocean, the views are breathtaking however it is the combination of spatial planning, sustainable initiatives and functionality of the design that makes this home an exemplar.

Rendered white, with a curated materiality of brick, concrete, stone and glass, there is clean form to the interior, while incorporating a double-height central void, gives space to breathe.

The outside informs the inside, with a large terrace on the upper level and multiple gardens of vegetables and trees that surround the house, enhance the barbecue area and complement the pool.

Sunlight and shadows accentuate the exterior walls and recesses and purposely delineate the form of K House.

Picture windows frame the views on both levels of this two-storey home as the interior connects to the water, sky and land and becomes a sanctuary for the residents.
