Two dwelling units and a studio allow for a variety of occupancies. The site is an elevated beachside section on a busy road with great views over the harbour. The concrete walls of the house associate with the old concrete fortifications along the coastline. They are covered with creeper. Plastic roofs, like wings, give privacy and protection. The traditional verandah is now a roof terrace, hedged and roofed, to take in the views. The folly – a diminutive guest house and work studio sits happily alongside.
