    About Ossher Design and Build

    Coastal builders in Tamarama, NSW.

    Tamarama is one of Sydney's most tightly held beachside pockets, steep blocks, ocean-facing homes and a housing stock that ranges from original cottages to serious architectural residences.

    Ossher Design and Build delivers coastal custom homes, full renovations and extensions across Tamarama and the broader Eastern Suburbs. Founded by Adam Ossher, our work combines careful craft with materials and detailing chosen for the beachside environment.

    We have direct experience with Waverley Council DA and CDC pathways, cliff-side wind loads and the tight-site logistics that come with building above the beach.

    Local Knowledge

    Building in Tamarama: coast, council & steep blocks.

    Tamarama builds aren't inland builds. Here's what we plan for from day one.

    Salt & Coastal Exposure

    Marine-grade stainless fixings, breathable coatings and corrosion-resistant detailing specified throughout so the finished work performs long-term.

    Waverley Council Approvals

    We prepare DA and CDC submissions that anticipate assessor questions, reducing approval time and protecting the build schedule on Tamarama's tightly governed streets.

    Steep Blocks & Ocean Views

    Many Tamarama sites step down toward the ocean. We design and detail retaining, drainage and structural elements to suit, often integrating split-level living that maximises the view.

    FAQs

    Frequently asked questions.

    In most cases, yes.
