Images Somethings Wild

The separate studio addition to the 1960’s original beachside holiday house was designed primarily to provide additional accommodation but also as a separate studio structure meeting complying development standards as a “prototype” that could be repeated in part in different locations.

The design of the new studio was to sit comfortably, by way of size and form, within the context of the two existing structures on site. Whilst modest in proportion, the studio is highly detailed in its construction and planned to maximise its function in a small footprint.

The slender roofline’s simplicity hides the complexity and skill of the structure within. The external cantilever appears to float above the highlight frameless glass.

Chris & his team where professional, skilled and reliable in delivering on our project. We were impressed with their organisational ability, onsite leadership & attention to detail, always willing to solve problems or address challenges.

The timber eaves lining continues through this glass on its skillion rake to the inside ceiling, folding down as wall cladding.

Modest yet simple finishes were used throughout - muted in tone but rich in texture and pattern, creating a calm and luxurious feel.

A large sliding vertical timber screen door acts as a sunshade device, a flyscreen and a privacy screen, allowing multiple occupancy options to the main space.

From within the raking ceiling and highlight glass opens vistas to the distant tree tops and sky beyond, allowing enjoyment of early morning light and night sky with its multitude of stars.
