The site of this seven level dwelling comprised a steep hillside with uninterrupted views over the lagoon and ocean with street access limited and posing logistical difficulties for large machines and deliveries to the site.   Sited on a rocky outcrop, this project required engineering resolutions to facilitate the sawing of the stone and rock stabilisation combined with rock bolting to the cliff face.  Precise set outs were required for the structural steel framework incorporating the barrel vaulted ceilings.  The residence features bluestone, split face masonry, off-form concrete, steel and glass. The quality of finishes to the wonderfully designed architectural features make this innovative residence a worthy winner.
