Coutts House
Balmoral Beach, NSW
The project is a substantial renovation of a 1930’s cottage, into a contemporary home for a young family.
The remodeling includes the addition of a new upper floor as well major landscaping works including a new garage and pool.
The extensively glazed east facade is protected by a series of projecting pre-forefabricated sunshades, expressed as an abstract cluster of picture frames which serve a variety of functions including the framing of views, reduction of solar gains, and the creation of an abstract articulation of the linear building form.
