House on the Bay

The architects were inspired by the neighbouring Brighton Sea Baths and Marina. “These monolithic structures stretch out into the bay to create pockets of calm water. The project extends upon themes embedded within these structures: shelter, enclosure and protection,” says Joseph Lovell.

Fabric Architecture

Like most 1970s builds, the original Shakespeare House in Bateau Bay was structurally sound but a little tired, prompting Fabric Architecture to reuse the existing form, beginning their redesign from the inside out.

The Abodo timber was light and straight to work with, providing an exceptional level of detail, low tolerances and a high quality finish. The usual timber acclimatisation process was non-existent, compared to standard hardwood. From an architectural perspective, Abodo’s colour stain range and profiles also provide a wide array of design opportunities."
