Situated a few blocks away from Mahon Pool, and a short walk from Maroubra Beach, ‘Game On’ takes full advantage of its coastal setting. Through careful manipulation of massing, setbacks, and open space, this house provides substantial natural light to the interior, views to the ocean, a neighbour-friendly frontage, and ample outdoor space for an active family.
The large Eastern Suburbs site was originally three separate lots, now amalgamated to accommodate this family home. To reflect a more typical streetscape allotment scale, the majority of the home is set toward the back of the site to provide mostly a single-story frontage. Additionally, a dense native front garden, as well as roof gardens, give back to the neighbourhood while also providing privacy for the homeowners.
Taking advantage of the site width, the house wraps around a central courtyard to provide access to the pool and greenspace from many interior spaces, while also allowing in ample natural light to the interior. Primary living areas are located to the southern side to capitalise on solar access, while secondary living spaces are located to the north. Rooms on the second floor are carefully positioned to take advantage of views out to the ocean, while maintaining privacy from the neighbours.
The newly approved DA is slated to start construction in 2025.
