The ‘Marcus Beach House’ by Bark Architects. This home has an open concept design, integrate indoor and outdoor spaces within dynamic patterns of light and shadow, being a simple frame to enable a contemporary sustainable lifestyle to unfold. Whilst feeling like a ‘beach house’ sited 250 meters away from Marcus Beach.
The main pavilion to the west accommodates living spaces focused around a double height deck space overlooking the swimming pool and northern garden. Windows and doors are strategically positioned to capture the prevailing breezes whilst roof overhangs are generous protecting the house from direct summer sunlight. Artificial lighting is kept to a minimum due to the generous amount and position of glazing. This home design has a connection between the deck and living spaces is dynamic and direct. Indoor and outdoor realms are connected through an interlocking series of alcoves and nooks like a low edge deck seat and reading nook pop-out located off the stair landing. Some other cool features of this house include a modern master bedroom, spacious courtyard, beautiful gardens and swimming pool.
