We love a good A-Frame at Modernist Australia, with ‘good’ being the operative word as there really is any number of janky triangular constructions out there that’s for sure.

This, however, is not one of them.

Indeed with its ply ceilings, unmolested timber beams in full hewn flight and set within one of the many sea and treed bejewelled towns that dot the Southern NSW coastline, this could be the fully-realised-boho-hideout tucked within the minds-eye of many.

A three-bedroom/two-bathroom home, it’s made up of an original zone and later extension. There is an open-plan living, dining and kitchen, along with another totally separate living room. They’ve gone to town on timber floorboards and panelling… but nothing beats the location, perched between two glorious beaches (Bawley and Cormorant).
