What is the ‘big (IDEA)’ behind this project?
Located on the Peninsula, the township of Merrick’s Beach is all that a beach town should be. Gravel roads, manna gums, fibro clad cottages and corrugated rain water tanks set the atmosphere. Twenty-six Surf Street sits comfortably within this rural scene with its understated ‘local‘ persona, yet makes a statement of its own. A feature of tea -trees embedded into the cavity of the polycarbonate wall of the house brings the local flora to life, especially at nighttime when the lights shine from the house.
