A new home for an expanding family wanting more room to live on a rural site which also incorporates a new workspace to the rear of the property.

With the client’s business ‘Envirocoat Concrete Concepts’ in all things polished concrete, this materiality was utilised beautifully in all elements from flooring through to vanity and bench-tops.

Built by David Radic Prestige Homes.

House 1 in a dual dwelling & reconfigured lot development in Koala Park for two new detached dwellings.

The design was that of a contemporary coastal nature, minimalist in forms with articulated detailing and screening elements to break down the forms. The upper volumes were designed to float above a lower living space that opens to the courtyard, pool areas and views to Burleigh Heads National Park.

The open nature and connection to landscape on the site reflects its sub-tropical location.

The first of many RSL prize homes Habitat Studio has been commissioned to Design. Set on the beachfront at Golden Four Drive the site has direct beachfront access with views to the horizon & south east to Coolangatta.

An upper volume floats over the deck below providing shelter and a constrained response to 2x sewer mains that ran through the small 405sq.m site. The operable beachfront façade allows the ground plane to penetrate the living spaces with more private upper contained volumes.
