The Original Fibro, Point Perry Beach House by Owen and Vokes Architects 01
This is One of the categories of the Beach House. Designed by Owen and Vokes, an architect from Australia. Beach house is located on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. The exterior of this house looks natural with a view to the hillside. The new owners wished to extend the house whilst preserving the character of the existing house. New programme includes additional bedrooms, bathrooms and car accommodation. The original fibro beach house appears as indigenous to the steep Coolum Hill site as the scrubby coastal vegetation amassed at the rear of the site. A new courtyard re-orients the entry, connecting living spaces physically to the hillside and providing views to the remnant vegetation beyond.

Manipulation of the existing built and natural topography establishes new connections between living spaces and the garden. Masonry elements manage levels across the site, forming new landscape spaces and embedding the fibro-clad extension into the hillside. Minor excavation reveals a courtyard space below what was previously a timber pool deck. The existing internal stair connects the external circulation route from the street to the open air circulation of the extension.
