Sunshine Coast
Sunshine Beach is a small coastal community located just outside the borders of the Noosa National Park. The site of the house is located a short walk away from the beach protected behind an area of coastal forest. The relatively small site presented challenges and opportunities with an odd triangular shape and hillside topography. Our clients wanted a new family home that was open and connected with living, working and sleeping spaces addressing the coastal environment while also offering protection and respite from the elements.
The house emerges from within the site – the robust materials of stone and off-form concrete connect the house to the ground. The essential use of Timber on the upper levels ensure the home will weather into its coastal location as well as providing a tactile warmth for barefoot living.
