The Point Lonsdale House is a linear-formed beach-house composed of four interlinked pavilions, each defined by its own vaulted roof and which holds the separate functions of the home. Each of the pavilion are divided to the south by a series of private courtyard gardens and sheltered decks, which provides the house with a complex relationship to a number of external living spaces.
The capacity for the house to open multiple large apertures between the interlinked pavilions allows for coastal breeze paths to wash though the home, removing the requirement for mechanical cooling.
The windows to the northern façade are each set within small undercrofts to create passively shaded eaves which establish a living edge to the house. Elevated to seating height they provide opportunities for rest, while also becoming a stage for children to play and to perform from.
