Whale Beach simplicity revisited

Located in Whale Beach NSW Australia, from this simple layout, the design sought to reinforce the clarity of space and celebrate the interaction of the elements, surfaces, and materials: steel, timber, and glass.

Designed by Nick Belle D&A , when viewed from the beach and surrounds, the charcoal, and timber palette ensures an understated recessive presence in keeping with the intended aesthetic to create a space that mirrors its coastal setting, providing both a relaxed and uplifting environment for the owners.

Crucial to the design is a two-storey void, this places the communal spaces at the heart of the house and connects the two main levels inviting circulation within the building, to make the transition from the upper entry level to main living spaces.
