Architecture and Home Design

The (w)right House is four bedroom contemporary home designed by Charles Wright just moments from the beach in cosmopolitan Port Douglas. It has environmentally sustainable design with vaulted ceilings and the presence of water from every angle of the house. To cool the tropical air, the house has one store and enveloped by water. The structure is an innovative combination of concrete, steel and un-conventional core-filled clay brick masonry. A flowing metal structure shades the lap pool with salt water, and a wooden deck wraps around the house conjuring up the sense of being at sea. The roof cavity is double insulated and separately vented utilising venturi effect – eleiminating heat gain from roof penetration. The house has indoor and outdoor dining places with open plan kitchen and gas BBQ relatively. The living room has an LCD widescreen TV/DVD/CD, Cable TV, WiFi and surround sound entertainment system. The house is a great retreat near the beach to spent holidays.

This Whale Beach House with Natural and Cosy Interior is designed by Rachel Neeson and Nick Murcutt.
It’s just recently wan presitgious Australian award called Wilkinson Award for Residential Architecture. It was given by the Australian Institute of Architects during 2009 NSW Architecture Awards. The house is a three level weekend residence situated on quite problematic site. It took three levels on the slope which all have their own outdoor areas. The coastal panorama and the forest behind it are things that make this house great place to connect owners family and their friends. Even though the house is quite big almost all rooms have natural and cosy interior and are great place for living.
