Beach House Architecture

Australian beach shacks have a history, and summer holiday is complete without a stay in a shack at the beach. This beach house architecture firm responded with a collection of timber boxes surrounding the existing main beach house.

More frequently holiday homes are becoming little more than transplanted suburban ugliness; the great Australian tradition of the shack is in danger of being superseded by bloated mansions with four bathrooms and all the trappings of modern life. With this project we wanted to celebrate the shack and have kept close to the original building’s footprint to avoid taking over the rugged coastal block.

Our clients came to us with a brief for much more room for their aging family holiday home. Our response was a series of finely-crafted timber boxes nestled around the bulk of the existing house. The bedroom addition opens up the northern facade of the house to the rugged bush block, doing double duty as the roof becomes an expansive deck to extend the living space out into the treetops. Other additions include extra storage space and a glass-ceiling shower for more of those precious tree-top views.

Webster Wilson architect has designed modern tropical beach house ideas in beautiful place on earth “The Hawaiian Islands”. It’s the best for you and your travel party, holidays, education about tectonic plates and volcanoes over hot spots, etc. Masonry walls of lava are very popular around the island and are made of lava flows, black basalt. The modern interpretation of the walls of this house is made of poured concrete monument with basalt aggregates. The open plan allows large expanses of glass to capture views of beautiful coastline and lush vegetation. Light wood elements provide sun protection and privacy, the home of your outdoor space. This house is really stunning tropical beach house design with beautiful beach house floor plans.
