This new house designed by Philip Stejskal Architecture sits on the leeward side of a beach-side dune in Scarborough, Perth in Western Australia.
Three storeys each interact with distinct aspects of the site.
The house engages with the street through the gesture of a courtyard which collects northern light and sea breeze.
This is the primary level of the house.
A bay window frames distant views and closer views down to the pool.
Below, a family room cuts into the dune and opens out toward the backyard.
Above, the master bedroom and study connect further afield and lead to a viewing platform that looks out toward the Indian Ocean.
Philip Stejskal Architecture’s task was to create a practical and robust container to accommodate their clients’ aspirations for a carefree and family-oriented future that reminded them of the Scarborough they used to know.
