Six beachfront homes on the Aldinga Esplanade with stepped fronts, like birds in flight.

The project
Architects Ink designed six dwellings along the Aldinga Esplanade, their stepped fronts giving each home its own identity. Entrances recall the underside of a jetty, with exposed beams leading from the back garden to the beach.
An internal courtyard brings light into the centre of each home, and a skillion roof admits morning sun over the kitchen while shielding the living areas from afternoon heat. Pale brick, timber joinery and coastal planting keep the palette relaxed. It was completed in 2022.
