Whale Beach House

This house is the recipient of the 2009 NSW Wilkinson Award and 2009 National Architecture Award. The house is an extended family weekender organised over three levels that terrace with the slope. The project explores proximity and distance, invoking the special dualities of the site – the rock outcrops and native forest behind are given equal consideration to the front coastal panorama. Each room is considered almost autonomously, coordinated with site and view. Outdoor living spaces at each level are equally varied – house and landscape are integral. It is finely detailed and built by exceptional tradespeople.
