Vista House | Slater Architects

Presenting as a single storey building from the street, the building has been designed with multiple levels in response to the steep typography and in order to provide uncompromising views over Avoca Beach.

Of paramount importance was the creation of a building that framed the views and opportunities the site offered and balancing this with a cutting edge built form that would be timeless. The client wanted spaces for their family to enjoy the beachside locality.

The natural palette of materials combining stone and timber look cladding with off-form concrete and standing seam echo the surrounding coastal location and have been designed with longevity and minimal maintenance in mind. A feature glass lift and cantilevered staircase provide vertical cohesion between the various levels. The external finishes are seamlessly integrated with the interiors combining polished concrete floors, stone and timber finishes, resulting in a fusion of interior and exterior living.
