A redesign of a house that once stood on the site, Palm Beach House is where the client had spent summers as a child. The previous house was unable to be saved, but provided an excellent template for the new-build. Memories influence the new design, from the building plan through to the decoration.
Overall, the Palm Beach House strongly refers to mid-century modernism, and the bold optimism of the era. Described as a viewing deck with a house attached, the cantilevered veranda shelters rooms below, grounding the building into the native landscape, with the Pacific beyond. Copper clad walls throughout are designed to age the house, blending it with the landscape.
