Whale Beach House

  • Name Whale Beach House
  • Client Private Residence
  • Country Garigal
  • Location Whale Beach, NSW
  • Year 1997

Perched on the edge of an escarpment looking northeast to the ocean, the house embraces the curve of Whale Beach and the distant headlands. The house appears from street level as two towers linked by a sheltered entry deck and a modulating ground plane. Ascending the stairs, the scale of the building shifts to reveal two interlocking forms, one private and one public. The living areas pivot around the deck and are unified under a curved roof. This roof falls towards the view of the sea and rises to the hill behind, to create a dramatic relationship with the setting.
