A prominent local south west couple engaged Threadgold Architecture to design their south west beach house after two aborted attempts using south west building designers. The clients had particular ideas in the desired building outcome but both previous designs by south west building designers delivered a costed contract sum 50% over the client's building budget.
Demolition of the existing dated holiday home made way for a clean contemporary design embracing endless Indian Ocean views from both ground and first floors. The expansive open living spaces spill out onto an entertaining balcony with breathtaking beach views. The open planned living spaces maximize the Indian Ocean views while capturing cooling sea breezes. The re-orientation of the living spaces ensured that every bedroom has a view rather than just bedroom 'high-light' windows as proposed by previous south west building designers. The beach front site, overlooking the native coastal dunes, enjoys direct beach foreshore reserve access in the heart of Western Australia's holiday heartland. The owners wanted to embrace the laid-back holiday lifestyle while maintaining a clean contemporary and luxurious aesthetic. The Alucobond awning and screen shield the western end of the first floor balcony from the strong sea breeze and north west storm fronts then wraps the deep eaves overhangs - ensuring the family to enjoy expansive Indian ocean views throughout all seasons.
An extensive re-design to satisfy the client's existing design brief by Threadgold Architecture delivered a 50% reduction in the building budget by project managing the building tender process to six local south west builders - ensuring the clients could proceed to the construction phase of the project.
The two storey house comprises of rendered cavity brickwork and Archistone honed 'carbon' concrete blockwork, planes of glass face render, reinforced suspended concrete slab, Alucobond fascias and eaves with flat steel roof to second storey.
