One block back from the surf break at Moffat Heads, on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, this compact (75m² internal area) home inhabits the rear of a classic beach shack. Inspired by our clients' passion for camping, entertaining, and being outdoors, Moffat Morphing House was conceptualised as a sustainable, small-footprint house for a couple to enjoy in their semi-retirement. 

The Quintas do Lago Praia dos Coqueiros project arises from the relationship between architecture, nature, and urbanism. The initial challenge was to create a club that valued the view of the lagoon without obstructing that landscape with the building. The solution was an architectural design in two levels. On the upper level, a linear plaza with a lookout extends from the sidewalk, guiding users towards the lagoon. On the lower level, the communal spaces — gourmet deck, party room, game room, gym, playroom, pantry, and restrooms — connect to a large organic infinity pool.

The village center itself consists of public buildings, such as the library, town hall, and old school. The campus is located on the edge of the center, facing the typical urbanism of family houses. The program of both phases of the school extension generates large volumes, which contrast with the scale of family houses. The immersion of the mass into the terrain reflects the intention to minimize the volume in contact with those tiny structures and maximize the free green area in front of the south facades.

House Meriportti is a sheltered home located near the seaside, designed by an architect for their family. The site is situated close to a picturesque and lively old harbour area. True to its name, House Meriportti serves as a gateway to the sea for its residents. The building itself creates a sheltered courtyard, protected from sea winds and storms by enclosing it on three sides.
