Externally the buildings are finished with flat off white terracotta tiles with a matte finish (reminiscent of the light coloured, painted fibro sheeting used on traditional houses in the older part of Point Lookout) and narrow, stained timber batten screens.

Interiors are simply and robustly finished with plantation arakaria and black butt timbers for a rich ‘beach house’ feel and low maintenance.

The design of the houses and the landscape employ a number of key sustainable design strategies to ensure minimum maintenance, low energy use, low water use and low embodied energy.
