This has got to be one of the most stunning residences that Stuart Tanner Architects has created: a breathtaking modern retreat house that sits on a cliff between the Tasman National Park and the Pirate’s Bay Beach.

This beautiful home offers unhindered view of its natural surroundings but also protects that environment by minimizing its physical and environmental footprints.

What’s so great about this house is its eco-friendly theme. The passive heating and cooling through cross-ventilation, on site waste water management, rainwater harvesting, and exterior sun screens all testify to that fact. These are truly some of the most impressive architectural components that make this project green.

This is a great example of a residential project that blends together the subtle, elegant lines of modern architecture with environmentally sustainable goals.
