A contemporary beach house aesthetic adjacent to the undulating coastal dunes.
The Abbey Beach House design is a refuge for retiring baby boomers exiting Perth after the lockdown. The client’s seaside site location is a stone’s throw from the lapping shores of the Indian Ocean and turquoise waters of Abbey Beach.
Demolition of the existing 1970’s dilapidated home on the coastal fringe made way for ground floor living platform of the Abbey Beach House design that shuns the adjoining properties while embracing the winter sun along the residence’s northern elevation.
The Abbey Beach House design utilises deep eaves overhangs for summer sun protection and adjustable green tinted fenestration to capture the many hues of the coastal site. The single storey did not limit the livability of the design by capturing the northern aspect, incorporating passive solar design principles and connecting the clients with their coastal clime.
Abbey Beach House design combines rammed limestone feature walls with Arte Domus mosaic tiling infills and clear stain finish plywood eaves/ceilings to offset the rendered brickwork, steel and glass structure. The sloping skillion roof forms take cue from the undulating coastal dunes and provide dramatic height and raking ceilings to the entry corridor and interior living spaces. The contemporary beach house aesthetic of the Abbey Beach House design, incorporates neutral beach tones and embraces Western Australian indoor outdoor living with plenty of room for the extended family.
