The RAIA jury described this Fingal house as a “… sophisticated beach bohemia”; occupying a site in a narrow street, the design creates a virtual oasis that opens up to the lawn area and a track to the beach beyond. The extensive use of stackable glass doors evaporates the division between indoors and out within a house that uses minimalist materials and simple space planning to create the perfect coastal lifestyle haven.
