Engineered for Bay Views
Set on a steep coastal block in Mt Martha, this residence combines coastal design principles with complex structural solutions. A suspended concrete pool sits above the garage, requiring careful load distribution and coordination. The sloping site was managed through tiered levels and retaining structures, allowing the architecture to sit lightly within its surrounds while offering uninterrupted views of Port Phillip Bay.
Delivered Outcome
Designing the suspended concrete pool above the garage was a key challenge, demanding careful load management and waterproofing. The exposed site also called for structural resilience against strong coastal winds.
