The project
Eckersley Architects designed this 350 m2 two-storey house overlooking the Southern Ocean near Anglesea surf beach, replacing a dated 1970s house on a sloping site. Drawing on the simple modernism of 1950s and 1960s coastal homes, it was built by Poulsen Builders for a couple and their extended family.
An H-shaped plan wraps two courtyards that shelter outdoor living from the wind. Upstairs, open-plan living centres on a concrete island with views to the ocean, and a restrained palette of charred timber, glass, sandstone, limestone and spotted gum carries from inside to the courtyard gardens.
