This unique single storey residence designed for a beachfront location, incorporates a tennis court adjacent to the home. The house has a linear plan which allows all rooms to have north facing windows, with views across the tennis court to the bushland beyond. The external living area incorporates retractable glass panels for protection from the SE breezes and adjustable external blinds to provide shading. Internal banquet seating allows the owners to enjoy a restaurant ambience while dining on their home cooked meals.

A contemporary extension to an existing Queenslander, this clerestory allowed northern light into the south-facing extension. A void over the living area below meant this sunlight could reach internal areas.
Open circulation areas create a much greater sense of space overall.
PS: As a child, I lived a home which had a hallway zone around the stairs. My brother and I used to rig our toys up on ropes, and hang them over the balustrade, and do 'shows' for our parents below. This client has 3 young children, and I loved this idea of bringing the opportunity for 'play' and 'display' (for books) into their home.
