Mollymook Beach House / Jost Architects
The design was inspired by the mid-century vernacular of not only the original part of the house but nearby beach houses as well, with their distinctive skillion roofs and simple but robust materials.

Looking to the future, the clients required a house capable of a multi-generational family dynamic including their teenage children, Timba the dog and older parents who frequently visit from overseas but will eventually join them permanently.
The project involved an existing double fronted Victorian house with a council Heritage Overlay. The previous 1980s extension to the rear was removed with a clean break between the original area of house and the extension.
This project was the complete revival of a severely dilapidated 1850’s cottage on death’s door. The brief called for an open plan living, dining, kitchen, rumpus room, bathroom, walk in pantry & laundry, 3 bedrooms, ensuite, walk in robe, and an outdoor area, all on a limited site size of 238m².
