01 / THE DESIGN

A view, with privacy.

Glazed elevations frame the water while changes in level help protect the home from the public beachfront. Outdoor spaces and internal rooms are connected through a sequence of natural materials and carefully framed outlooks.

02 / MATERIAL & DETAIL

Materials that
grow into their setting.

The client welcomed the character that comes with age. Timber was chosen to weather naturally, becoming silver-grey over time, while stone gives texture and a sense of permanence.
