New beach house
Two walls the colour of the local rock define the exterior of this ocean front house on the South Coast of NSW. The wall's internal surfaces are white; with a raked timber ceiling they define the internal space. While openings are cut into the eastern wall to embrace the adjacent bush, the western wall excludes the encroaching suburbia. The ends are open: to the ocean at the south, to the sun at the rear. A split section accentuates the site’s topography. The dining room retains the tower form of an initial project, catching light to reflect it right back into the kitchen.
