Perched on the edge of the remnant rim of the Glass House range, the Glass House Mountains House was designed for expat clients living in Romania. The house is designed to engage with its site’s topography, orientation, views and vegetation.

The owners opted to save the humble 1970’s double-brick wall beach house and renew, to achieve a functional home that suited the space, amenity and style, they required.

The exising fibro and brick beach house was opened up and pared back to reveal the structural essence of the building to create a holiday house that captured ocean and dunal views and enhanced its scale and character.

This subtropical beach house is located on a beautifully vegetated site on a remote Central Queensland beach, nestled into its natural coastal landscape, providing its occupants with an inextricable link to the landscape and the Red Rock headland.

Spoonbill has been conceived and produced with a genuine economy of means, a natural casual elegance, a lightness and an authenticity about place in mind. Spoonbill’s character is natural, understated, permeable, translucent and transparent and made of vertical elements echoing its neighbouring trees.

There are three ‘main events’ in experiencing this house at Peregian Beach. One is the outlook north to a wetland reserve. The second, a lovely journey up a series of timber platforms under mature Moreton Bay Ash Trees and the third a suspended pandanus leaf sculpture of a stingray from Arnhem Land.
