Blok Belongil | Blok Modular with Vokes and Peters

Blok Belongil is a new beach house produced in collaboration between Blok Modular and Vokes and Peters, exploring the adaptability and sustainability of volumetric modular building procurement.

Our client purchased a triangular shaped site, located between a public beach car park, a train line, and a busy neighbourhood feeder road, but blessed with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, the hinterland mountains, and Point Byron.

The house is conceived as a communal building (reception vestibule, lobby lounge, restaurant, private garden, guest suites etc) for our clients, their young adult children, and visitors to share time together. The house is small but spatially and experientially generous.

Modular procurement not only meets the local planning objectives (the house has to be removable in the event of rising sea levels) but building in a factory helps minimise the level of disruption (often toxic) to the local ecology of the building site and locale.
