Shoreham House reimagines a mid-century two storey beach house by extending an existing bluestone cottage, elevating coastal living upwards into the tree canopy amongst the air, light, and breeze.
The new extension is drawn out from the bluestone cottage, cantilevering over the flood prone land, and creating an open and connected landscape below. Steel V columns raise the new extension into the treetops above, reflecting a traditional beach house typology and celebrating the language of the site’s abundant forked eucalypts and foliage. The cottage renovation retains its beach shack simplicity, while the new architecture is wrapped in a recessive dark envelope that reveals a warm, light timber interior.
