Friends of ours, Architects Virginia Wong See and Hamish Holley, made a big move to the NSW north coast. And who could blame them – clean air, open spaces and buckets of opportunities.

And they’ve done some great work along the way which is often, to my eyes, both “zen” and practical. Here are some pictures of their work…
