Stanley Coastal Retreat

Stanley is one of Tasmania's most distinctive towns - a basalt headland jutting into Bass Strait, surrounded on three sides by ocean. Building there is not like building anywhere else. Salt air, prevailing westerlies, and strict coastal overlays mean that every material specification and structural decision carries more weight than it would on a suburban block.

The clients had been researching coastal builds for two years before they found TCB Build. They wanted a 4-bedroom family home that could be their forever home and a place to host family from the mainland - high ceilings, generous bathrooms, an entertainer's outdoor space, and finishes suited to a coastal environment.

We designed the home with our coastal-specialist design partner, specifying materials for salt-air durability throughout - from the roofing system to the hardware and cladding - without a single provisional sum. On this project we acted as the subcontract builder, partnering with Hotondo Homes to deliver the architect-led vision to our Spruce Standard. Everything was costed, fixed, and contracted before a sod was turned.
