Ravine House

Clinging to the edge of an exposed Council waterway, Ravine house is a technical and intelligent response for a young family’s first home. On what was once considered an unbuildable site, our clients vision of a private 2- bedroom home nuzzled in the canopy of native bush now sits securely above the stream below.

Two-story wooden house with a front porch surrounded by lush greenery and palm trees.

“What a great experience with Mac Architecture planning and executing our new home build. He listened to what we wanted and was on the same page as us right from the beginning but also added some awesome architectural features that made our plans even better then we could have imagined. Would highly recommend Jason to anyone.”
