It has as one of its features 8 different hardwoods for the living room floor. In the centre of the floor is an etched brass plaque that indicates the scientific and common name for each of the timbers. This project also included the major construction of the landscaping in conjunction with the owners.

90 Nelson Parade Tuross Head.
The house was designed to take, the best advantage of the block, the aspect, the views and of course the clients lifestyle demands.
The newspaper article shows what extent we had to go through to show that the house is not a 3-storey house. It also shows the small amount of the roof that broke through the building envelope. The red tape on the roof indicates the area that protrudes through the allowed building envelope. There had been over a half dozen previous meetings with council staff that had trouble reading the plans and insisted that the house was a 3-storey house. In the end, which took over nine months, the house was dug into the block by 500mm so the building envelope was not broken and the house was approved by the councillors themselves.

The photos show all sides of the house. You can make up your own mind as to whether or not the house is 3 storeys. It is also noted that the council approval section took another 6 weeks to allow the construction certificate to be issued. The following photos show the progress of the residence as it has been constructed. It is due to be completed by the end of August 2006.
