Beach House 2
Porebski Architects, Beach House 2.
The raw qualities of robust and heavy elements pay homage to the cliffs and caves of the surrounding headlands and together with the heavy breaking waves upon the beach have influenced the form and materiality of the building. A simple palette of materials and finishes, executed with finely detailed precision and requiring minimal maintenance, create the light sensibility of the structure. Operable layers of the facade generate the transparency of the house, where primary visual and physical connections are made to the surrounding natural site features. Sliding timber shutters and cavity sliding windows and doors allow spaces to open seamlessly, blurring the demarcation between inside and out.
