The Casuarina Beach House was devised as a vehicle to accommodate the journey from a hectic inner city Melbourne lifestyle to one of laisse-fair beachside living and entertainment….not retirement but a fresh and exciting chapter. Inspired by the clean lines of the 1950’s Palm Springs architecture and styling of Richard Neutra, our clients had a clear aesthetic vision but understood that they had to temper their aspirations to meet a strict budget. Designed for a couple with no children and a revolving door of visitors, the temptation to arrange the plan as a generous one bedroom Master Villa with a separate two bedroom Guest Wing linked by a covered breezeway seemed to be too strong to ignore. A tight Client / Architect relationship was quickly established which enabled us to collate our philosophies of design, form, function, and tectonics to create a symbiotic harmony of Art, Architecture and Landscape.

“From our very first onsite meeting with Scott, we knew he was the architect for us!! He designed a house that complements our lifestyle perfectly!! He spent a lot of time getting to know our interests and how we would use the spaces and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the result. It has been life changing in the best possible way.”
