Sometimes, people think they’ve settled into a home for the long haul, only to have an unmissable opportunity to change everything in an instant. For David and Karly Zacharia, spotting the perfect site in the perfect street in the perfect suburb was a gamechanger. “We weren’t looking to move at all – the house we were living in at the time was only four years old. But the opportunity to build a house with beach views and night views of the city was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up,” says David.
The sloping 405m2 block had a knock-down house on it and was ripe for development. As the site is elevated, the family – Karly, David and their two daughters, Lucy, 16, and Ruby, 13 – decided to build their home over three levels to maximise enjoyment of the outlook; the slope ensures views from surrounding houses are not impeded.
