Craftsmanship sits at the heart of this Avalon home, where Australian spotted gum features prominently throughout the design. A second-storey addition was key to transforming the original Northern Beaches beach shack into a home suited for long-term living.

The upper level introduces a master bedroom, ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, positioned quietly among the surrounding trees. Original stained-glass windows, salvaged from the owners’ family property, were carefully integrated as a feature element, creating a meaningful connection between the ensuite and bedroom.
