Separation Creek Horizon – 2024 HIA-CSR Australian Home of the Year

Separation Creek

Horizon at Separation Creek, winner of the 2024 HIA-CSR Australian Home of the Year, pairs bold coastal architecture with tiered corten steel embankments, a flame zone compliant green roof and basalt pathways descending to an intimate ocean view firepit
