The building focuses to the central space to minimise the amount of external glazing thus reducing the amount of expensive bushfire treatments. It improves the sense of privacy and enclosure to the outdoor living area. The surrounding internal roof edge allows protected circulation under the eaves, reduces the built form and blurs the indoor/outdoor transition. It also frames a sky view which is animated at night by the lighthouse beam passing overhead.

A wide shaded entry foyer is for storage of surfboards, hanging towels and wetsuits while a shower nearby reduces sand spreading throughout the house. The most popular space is the shady hammock deck, which receives constant use.

Construction methods and detailing are intentionally basic, for reasons of economy and working in with the local tradesmen. Steel is avoided and items such as the plastic external light fittings, were chosen both for economy and long life. Floors are polished particleboard, all joinery uses formply as a finished face.

    The layout captivates me the most.
    Japanese like courtyard design meets holiday house. I really love how versatile it is with the roller shutters you can just open the kitchen area and just have a barbecue outside. Coming from a big family this is the best way to get everyone closer.
