2021 Western Architecture Awards Winner
Twigley Bach
This cleverly designed beachside bach demonstrates a skilful response to its landscape. Glazing acknowledges the passage of the sun and provides numerous visual connections to ocean and mountain, while the home’s robust structure and appropriately chosen materials mean Twigley Bach offers both a place of refuge from, and celebration of, the coastal weather. Further, the building’s ability to be relocated responds innovatively to planning requirements and future sea level challenges. Through clever spatial planning, the architect has provided ample space internally, overcoming challenging restrictions on building size and construction. A voluminous living space serves as a family hub, while adjacent bunk spaces readily transform to accommodate visiting friends and family. Elements of bespoke craftsmanship and considered design are evident in the built-in joinery, which contributes to the overall high-quality finish.
