A revitalized beach shack blending modern design with original materials, featuring a new rear pavilion connected by a glass link that enhances the connection to the lush backyard.
The original boat house was a tiny wee shack built in the 1920’s. Over the years the weatherboard house was altered, tweaked and extended, until a surf loving architect took ownership. With humble plans the house was reinvigorated into an updated, modern yet relaxed beach shack using as many of the original house materials as possible.. The new rear pavilion is accessed via a glass link/study which was designed to extend the original house to engage with the lush greenery in the backyard.

The highlight of this project is the new rear pavilion, accessible through a sleek glass link/study that seamlessly connects the old with the new. Designed to embrace the lush greenery in the backyard, this extension breathes new life into the living space.
Barwon Heads II effortlessly combines old-world charm with a fresh, beachy vibe, making it a standout example of residential extensions.
