Project Summary
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Forster, Main Beach House is a testament to unique architectural design, creativity, and innovation. Situated just a stone's throw away from the pristine sands of Forster Main Beach, this project is not your everyday build; it's a harmonious blend of form and function.
This unique design isn't just visually stunning; it's also strategically planned. The main residence, perched overlooking the Pacific Ocean, shares its space with three lower-level serviced apartments and a welcoming cafe retail spot. It's a bustling space, boundary to boundary, on one of Forster's busiest streets.
The exposed timber-built screen that adorns the outer building facade, paired with fibreglass wall cladding, provides privacy from the neighbouring apartment blocks while still treating the occupants to breathtaking internal views through offset openings. It's the perfect blend of seclusion and scenery.
This project is not just about construction; it's about creating spaces that inspire and connect. It's about the careful balance between privacy and appreciation of the stunning surroundings.

“Joss took on our challenging project and created a masterpiece. He was able to take the architect’s vision and turn it into a reality. His eye for detail and his precise carpentry skills led to a result that was exceptional, from the massive curved external façade to the beautiful spotted gum feature staircase.”
