Langs Beach New Build

Drawn collaborated with David Frost form Architecture & Design Ltd to detail this coastal new build at Langs Beach. North facing with stunning ocean views, this home provides the clients with a sunny, comfortable retreat away from the city. The site context determined much of the design and construction methodology, with a moderate slope descending towards the beach. The house is anchored into the topography with an excavated lower floor, using stack bonded masonry to frame the garage and bunk room spaces. The composition of the house prioritises sunlight with louvre screens and void spaces providing the internal spaces with generous yet comfortable natural light. Inspired from the coastal context of bleached driftwood and weathered surfaces, the home blends into its surroundings with its palette of greys and whites, and splashes of blue and green. This is enhanced by a natural representation of materials, with natural texture Shadowclad, exposed block and timber flooring.
