House in Wye River

Comprising two adjacent houses, this project is envisioned as a multi-generational beach retreat. The two houses sit next to each other, with the grandparents residing in the downslope house and the main family occupying the uphill house.

Both houses share a common arrival point at the downstairs level, which facilitates parking for both residences. A central BBQ space serves as a communal hub. It is a connecting point for the two homes, fostering family interaction. Each house mirrors the other in design.

The layout of the houses is designed to maximise key views. Rooms are oriented to capture specific vistas, either over the top or between neighbouring dwellings. The design features big open spaces that highlight expansive views, complemented by smaller, curated views for a more intimate experience. Despite the similar spatial arrangement, the varying orientation of each pavilion imparts a unique sense of place and experience.

This project aims to create a calming, nature-connected living environment, where the views play a central role in defining the experience. The design prioritises a strong connection with the surrounding site, ensuring that the houses feel unique without unnecessary embellishments.
