The design aim for this project was to create a modern Australian home in a contemporary beachside style. A beautiful, practical home suitable for family living. A house with uplifting interiors (private & open spaces) that take full advantage of the coastal views and property surrounds.

The architectural strategy for this house stems from the historic ‘bathing machines’ of the mid-1880s; their pride and privacy, their local identity, and how this can evolve into contemporary architecture. The pitched roof & vertical timber cladding– a nod to these old bathing houses. The use of stone & the charring of the timber – a direct response to the local landscape/surrounds.
