The Minnie Water House by Neeson Murcutt Architects

The Minnie Water House is located adjacent coastal reserve above a beach. The extended family weekender incorporates a separable flat at an upper level, generous living spaces and bedrooms at the mid level, and an undercroft ‘sleep-out’ for additional overflow accommodation. A balcony is positioned within the body of the house – an outdoor escape during windy weather. The house is built on a simple structural grid and uses inexpensive but durable materials to achieve a high degree of economy.
