Our Second Valley House is designed to quietly support the simple pleasures of the beach getaway. The home offers the owners the opportunity to escape the city and enjoy the relaxed coastal lifestyle. A separate pavilion which is connected to the main house via a covered outdoor breezeway link also provides guests with self-contained accommodation. The ‘L’ shaped plan creates an outdoor space shared by all.

A material palette of painted fibre cement sheet and natural timber, and the simple built form reflects the quintessential Australian beach shack. Simple, robust finishes internally such as burnished concrete add to the casual feel of the house.
