Gerroa House

On Tharawal country, Gerroa lies on the South Coast of NSW. The site occupies a steep slope, looking south over Seven Mile Beach and towards the Indigenous landmark Cullunghutti (Mt Coolangatta).

Situated on a steep, windy slope, the pavilion is elevated on a steel platform, its recycled ironbark cladding weathering the coastal conditions. The design carves out a central, protected deck, offering a quiet respite from the relentless winds that shaped the architect’s personal connection to the site as a windsurfer.
