Weekend home in Brighton
2017
The location is on the rocky shores of Brighton.
On site one observes that the topography of the site allows the design to interact with the land. As the construction removes, the design then replaces. The void in the centre of the organisation allows for this interaction to take place. The orientation of the house is based on the sites best feature; the south shore line. A usual wind direction and ocean current, restricted the length of the house due to seasonal changes. The house frames the view of the ocean, positioned at an angle which removes any abstractions or distractions from surrounding traffic or neighbours. A special moment in the house is the small balcony at the rear, the only outdoor area of the house, able to be occupy by a single person. Creating a viewing platform for Brighton’s biggest attraction, the pier.
