Site Responsive Beach House in Sorrento by Marcus O’Reilly Architects. Marcus O’Reilly Architects has carefully designed a low key, site responsive beach house in Sorrento on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula in Australia. The timber clad structure reinterprets a longstanding beach house tradition in the area. It uses local materials to blend into, respect and compliment it’s sought after, national park adjacent location. The site, which has been in the owner’s family for more than fifty years, is heavily populated with eucalyptus trees which grow out of the rolling sand dunes of the area. Floating green stained cedar volumes and bleached timbers visually respond to the Eucalyptus canopies. The volumes step up the sand dune allowing it to be virtually undisturbed as the dune rises to the rear of the site. The front volume is anchored to the ground by canted sandstone walls lending a sense of gravitas to the otherwise light wood framed structure.
