Paying homage to it’s origins, this beach shack has been respectfully modernised by the addition of a modest extension at the rear to allow for a larger kitchen and living area with a covered deck.
Beach shacks built in the post war period have a simplicity, and a rationale dictated by the frugal nature of the times in which they were constructed. There is a lot of nostalgia for the people who spent long hot summers with their families in them, a bygone era of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s.
Shacks constructed up and down the coast of Australia are slowly being demolished to make way for larger houses. Fortunately, driven by the owners Jill and Marcus, the opportunity here was conservation.
The addition of a modest covered deck at the rear of the dwelling provides additional spaces for relaxation and entertaining.
We recently completed a fantastic addition to the back of our house with the help of New View Building Solutions, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results! The craftsmanship is excellent, and the team's attention to detail really made a difference. If you're considering a home renovation, I recommend New View—they truly deliver high-quality work!
