This
beach house has open plan living areas along the full length of the
sea facing façade.
This home includes 4 bedrooms, 2 ensuite bathrooms, a roof terrace,
and a separate guest suite accessed from the central courtyard which
provides shelter from the prevailing westerly wind.
The harsh salty/sandy environment required long life, low
maintenance practicality. This was achieved with a limited palette
of materials – insulating plaster on blockwork, cedar rain screens
and plywood, glass, and double thickness anodising on the aluminium.
The home was conceived as a large bach giving connections and
stopping places between the landward sheltered side of the dunes and
the open tract of the beach.
