North Beach House | Tim Wright Architect
“•The site is on the crest of the original coastal dune, James Street North Beach.
•The surrounding built form is dominated mediocre residential buildings.
•There is a spectacular upper-level view to the South and a lesser extent to the West.
•The house is two levels with the main living areas on the upper level and secondary living areas on the lower level.
•The plan is two pavilions connected by the stair and entry lobby.
•Northern sun is received whilst embracing the views to the south, from the courtyards formed by the intersection of the two pavilions.
•The site is reasonably exposed to the afternoon sun, the sea breeze and at times winter storms.
•Operable external sun control blinds moderate the setting Western sun.
•The house is constructed entirely of masonry and concrete for an entirely minimal maintenance and durable structure.
•The concrete roof is a massive cooling and secure structure, that is an extremely durable element against all manner of weather.
•The vegetation is coastal dune and is embraced in all garden areas.”
