Vitamin Sea is a major renovation to multi-storey house located on the dunes of Culburra beach

The design explores a response to the stunning ocean views to the south as in Major influence in the planning arrangement to accommodate a family in beachside living.

Vitamin Sea is an example of negotiating between multiple issues such as:

• Elevated site over coastal erosion zones
• large engineered pile to meet the Shoalhaven council coastal erosion zone
• its fantastic views to the east and optimal orientation to the north.
• Vegative buffer
• A Coastal Hamptons style of living

The Strategy for this project was to negate all these issues in a well bounded architectural form.

Other features of the design include:

• A sheltered rear deck to protect for those strong north easterly windy days.
• A mix of Materials such as battened compressed fibre cement, weatherboard cladding and painted timber details
• Raked ceilings to a counter lever study loft
• Inside outside off form concrete bench with integrated sliding window
• interior timber veneers

The house expresses a simple yet intelligent coastal response to its site and surrounding environment.
