DESIGN / BRIEF

This project was undertaken with Archiforma and involved the extension of a single-storey beach house in Lorne.

New additions consist of a series of terraces/blocks that step-down the site to respect and take advantage of the natural slope. In doing so the new additions become almost invisible from the street and create three distinct and separate living quarters, each accessible from either communal stairs or individual entries. Two floating boxes make-up the composition and help break-up the monolithic form. Roof terraces located on top of each block are fully glazed to maximise ocean views.

The materials are predominantly render finish in varying shades of green to help integrate the house into the woodland context.
