About this home

This beachfront family home in Lennox Head takes advantage of orientation and coastal breeze, providing a light filled, four bedroom home.

The house was renovated by previous owners in 2022 with the current owners completing further minor internal renovations in 2025, including addition of third and fourth bedrooms, storage space, rooftop solar PV system with battery and electric car charger and reverse cycle air conditioning.

Q & A

What motivated you to build or retrofit sustainably?
We are motivated by climate concerns and resilience.
Installing a larger battery allowed us to maximise our solar generation and use.
I wish we’d know the fans we installed would be noisy.
Finding a solution to better insulate the western facade, native garden / permaculture landscaping, a new hot water system when the current system reaches end of life and external shutters in the eastern glazing for cyclone resilience.
