From architect: “The original structure on the spot was engaged in the” house of cake “by the local community. Its coastal city of Mollimook and compliance and improvement of this iconic form became a comprehensive concept for the project. A high performance envelope was emphasized.

“The Underlying Design principle was to prioritize Resource Efficiency by Reusing and Celebrating Materials to Re-Life A Original Beach Shack Is Reminiscent of the Vernacular and Scale of this Coastal Town. We Sight to Respect The Existing Building By Minimizing the Scale of the Rear Addition, Ensuring It is not visible from the street and Maintains The Layout to Make Flexible Spaces It could take many people without feeling the living space to celebrate the sea with an open-minded exilery overly excessive sitting deadlines. The bedrooms on the lower sitting make bunkers for isolated heat masses Resist the effects of climate change.

“The cake house is upgraded to include Principles of a passive household house Including high insulation, without thermal bridges, low air infiltration, high performance glazing and heating system for heat. Finally, it is designed to work as a passive throw of beaches in a mixed fashion beach, predetermined to be robust against its extreme context and intensifying climate. It works as 100 percent electrical and net-zero use of energy (-7,000KVH / year back to the network) with a photovoltaic system on the spot. The home programming is left similar, with a kitchen that turns to the ocean and living up and bedrooms below. Landscape Berm was built around a lower level to protect rooms from an increase in the attack on the storm, acting as the last sand of Dina. Diamond entry and lobby that pours two levels were retained and upgraded. The repeated roof of “Kite” is sharpened and sailed lightly over the interior spaces. The light shape of the roof ground floor is recycled with hippass and concrete in neutral carbon formed from the original aluminum lining. “
