Greenacres is located only metres from the ocean cliffs in Merewether, Newcastle, NSW. In their brief, the owners, Basil and Jo, asked for a family home that they could grow old in, with a lift, lots of light, sleek, clean lines and, they tentatively requested: ?a window with a view if possible.? Austin Maynard Architects designed them a home which captures the views from almost every space within and around the house.
