The northern facade of Field House has a seamless connection with the established native garden proving both privacy and solar protection Photography @tomross.xyz Interiors @olivecooke Build @moradabuild Landscape @cooke_land_arc

The main entry of Field House is defined by a simple external sliding screen withholding a sense of the interior of the house until entry. Photography @tomross.xyz Interiors @olivecooke Build @moradabuild Landscape @cooke_land_arc

From the street, Brunswick Heads House subtly nestles itself in a thriving garden, set back from the road, gracefully distinguishing itself from its neighbours. Its black timber façade forms a counterpoint to the surrounding palette of pale weatherboards creating a quietly sculptural exterior as a prelude to the layered spaces within.⁠ ⁠ The most striking aspect of the renovation is its unconventional yet compact footprint, where every space feels open, functional and effortlessly beautiful.⁠ ⁠ Originally a humble split level beach house, the dwelling was carefully reimagined rather than replaced. Fraser, owner of Fraser Mudge Architects, approached the design with a clear respect for the surrounding vernacular, opting for measured, thoughtful additions rather than a full rebuild.⁠ ⁠ It became clear through the design process; the underlying principles were to create a compact home that felt both intimate yet functional for a family of four.⁠ ⁠ 👉🏽 Read more inside issue 107, available now (link in bio).⁠ ⁠ ~architect @frasermudge ⁠ ~interiors @wearetriibe ⁠ ~builder @moradabuild ⁠ ~landscape architect @cooke_land_arc ⁠ ~text Ainsley Wynne⁠ ~photos @tomross.xyz ⁠ ⁠ 📍 Bundjalung Country / Brunswick Heads / NSW
