Hill Beach House - Port Aransas
Port Aransas, TX, United States
Like a hermit crab scurrying across the dune, the house sits on numerous tiny legs, has a hard protective shell facing the neighborhood while its opposing side opens to the Gulf of Mexico. Because of the family’s desire to spend most of their time outside, the vacation retreat has more covered patio areas than conditioned space. The segmented shed roof peels away as it slopes to the ground revealing the windows and elevated patio areas that orient east and south towards the dunes and the ocean.Typical of beach houses in the area, the dwelling uses modest but long-lasting materials such as hardiplank, treated timbers and cedar. The house’s orientation, shape and space arrangement allow for maximum pas- sive cooling by shading the patios and large expanses of glass during the hot south Texas afternoons and early evening. Inside, natural ventilation is enhanced by the 2-story open staircase that draws air from every room and vents it out through the roof. Broken concrete was salvaged nearby and used for paving around the pool. Environmentally friendly materials inside include linoleum flooring, “paper stone” countertops and ceramic tile with high-recycled content.
