Residential

Carbon Skins 2

Carbon Skins 2 is the companion residence to the original Carbon Skins home, forming part of a carefully considered duplex development overlooking Kiama Harbour. Designed to respond to the site's steep topography and spectacular coastal outlook, the home balances privacy, durability and contemporary design.

Positioned on a challenging sloping site above Kiama Harbour, Carbon Skins 2 forms one half of an architecturally cohesive duplex development. While sharing the distinctive "carbon skin" exterior with its neighbouring home, the residence was designed as a unique dwelling with its own identity, offering future owners a sophisticated canvas to make their own. Careful planning preserved ocean views, protected neighbouring sightlines and created private outdoor living spaces, all while embracing the rugged beauty of the coastal setting.

Carbon Skins 2 is a project where craftsmanship and materiality take centre stage. The textured palette of charred timber, recycled brick and natural finishes creates a home that feels both robust and refined.
