Description
A new dwelling adjacent the Brighton Sea Baths directly fronting Port Phillip Bay. The house is orientated around a central landscaped courtyard that provides a secluded space to sit while looking through large glass openings to the panoramic views beyond.
The materials employed for the project are raw and robust reflecting the harsh environmental conditions of the site. The thermally insulated precast concrete walls provide a protective skin for the home, while creating a highly thermally efficient home.
