the bay house

Location: Lota

The residence is designed for an active, young family and occupies a steeply sloping site facing east over Moreton Bay. The house derived from simple livable spaces that tier down the site and are separated to allow maximum views and ventilation. The focus is the large open living spaces where sliding glass panels slide completely away to allow a seamless connection through the living space to the front yard overlooking the bay and to the courtyard behind. Large insulated louvers at the higher level allow the whole façade to open to the east and complete the connection to the bay aspect and the outdoors.
