Daybreak Residence banner

This beachfront residence in New South Wales was created for a couple who were ready for a permanent sea change and to fully embrace a ‘beach house’ way of living. Designed around a central courtyard, two pavilions bookend and enclose this integral outdoor living space and pool. Intended to read as a minimal and unassuming building from the street, the residence was created through a grid of exposed structure. In keeping with the traditional retro fibro beach houses of the area, fibre cement cladding, breezeblocks, crazy paving and timber battens were used throughout extensively to reinterpret the iconic Australian coastal architecture into a modern family home.
