To create a beach house that formed a series of spaces that could be utilised by a multi-generational family. The pavilion style arrangement needed a connectivity, while still remaining separate from one another. The buildings were placed to maximise ocean views, as well as provide a protected courtyard for entertaining.

The truncated site did not lend itself well to a traditional house arrangement, which lead to the series of building connected by links.

Concrete and timber were chosen as muted materials that naturally blended in with the coastal surrounds. The concrete rendered base provides a sense of permanence to the building, keeping the lighter timber element visually grounded in the landscape. The Accoya timber, is a thermally treated pine which provides a hard wearing and long-lasting natural product, able to withstand the harsh coastal conditions. The “Controlled Erosion” stain from Grimes and Sons is designed to naturally weather over time and provide an additional layer of protection to the façade.
