These three forms provide a sheltered
outdoor space in the middle, which
catches winter sun and is protected
from the undesirable winds.
Much of the living space on the site
is actually outside the buildings, in
the courtyard or on decks. This works
well with the indoor / outdoor nature
of visiting here. Materials throughout
relate to the context of a seaside
village, they are economical and
corrosion resistant.
Timber is used extensively, floors are
either polished concrete or . Eaves
and wall linings are fibre cement.
