Scape House - IDEA 2023

Scape House

Andrew Simpson, Owen West, Steve Hatzellis and Dennis Prior

This family beach house explores how the idealised concept of a ‘house’ is transformed by context and use. In section, the design adopts the form of a child-like gabled house, though in plan the house twists to accommodate views and follow the sloping site. An ambiguous central space acts as gallery, entry, veranda, storage, dining, lounge and circulation zone that mediates between the east and west wings.
