Tathra Disabled Custom Built Home

LOCATION:  Tathra NSW Builders  |  Project Type:  Custom Built Home

Having been confined to a motorised wheelchair since childhood, Toby desired a house that would facilitate his independence and freedom, as well as provide a home for his turtle and school of fish.

His home is robust and masculine providing stimulation, exercise, shelter, views and access that enables him to connect easily with essential local facilities such as the local supermarket, post office and pub.

From his upper level living space, Toby can observe coastal shipping movements, the annual whale migration, the passage of clouds overhead, how the surf is breaking and his fish, in surprising places throughout the house.
