 | A house located on Bundeena's Horden beach has received a commendation from the The Royal Australian Institute of Architects during it's annual awards.
|
The RAIA jury noted the house "[fits] sensitively into its coastal environment of sand dunes and beach shacks".
The house was designed by Sam Crawford Architects and is raised off the ground, set on steel posts driven into the dune, braced against a north-easterly sea swell that can, at times, send a surge of energy through the dune and into the building fabric. The house is designed to be both strong, and flexible - built of a composite steel/ timber frame, clad in rough sawn plywood and corrugated iron.
