Beach house on Victoria’s coastline organized as two distinct volumes: a private pavilion for sleeping and bathing, and a communal pavilion for cooking, dining, and living. The separation creates a clear distinction between individual and shared activities while maintaining a single architectural identity through a continuous roof structure. Large column-free interiors open directly onto north and west-facing decks, reducing the boundary between interior and exterior space. The structure was prefabricated off-site to minimize construction time, while recycled materials—including reclaimed stadium timber and salvaged jarrah columns—were used throughout. The project reconsiders the Australian beach house typology through a simple, efficient arrangement of space, structure, and material.
