Robust and tactile yet refined, the home balances coastal informality with architectural precision, creating an urban retreat deeply connected to its bayside setting.
The home is anchored by an intrinsic yet robust shell of concrete, composed of precisely selected reclaimed timbers, and wrapped in a fractured aluminium skin of undulating perforations—a beacon of the home, illuminated in both natural and artificial light.
The upper-level transports you to a new landscape of self-sufficient resting pods arranged amongst an elevated dune of coastal vegetation, a retreat from the active ground plane below.
In pursuit of a retreat, escape and rest this bayside residence transforms the concept of dwelling into a unique typology, melding landscape, light, and sculptural form.
