Located on a steep site in the township of Eagle Bay in the City of Busselton this beach house is spread over three levels that cascade down the property. The house provides five bedrooms and three bathrooms in a lightweight structure that is consistent with the traditional qualities of a holiday home.
The balcony of the upper floor extends out over the lower floors and commands sweeping views to the ocean. The house uses passive solar principals, with north-facing glazing helping to heat the main spaces in the house, and consideration were given to achieve excellent cross-flow of air. The roof features a ridge that runs across the building at 45 degrees and folds down to protect the interior from the summer sun.
