Bark’s Marcus Beach House featured in the QANTAS in flight magazine ‘Spirit of Australia’ issue exploring the changing face of the Beachside Holiday Houses, as the holiday house grows up.

The beach house explores lightness, filtering natural breezes, layers of transparency and integrating indoor/outdoor spaces within dynamic patterns of light and shadow, being a simple frame to enable a contemporary sustainable lifestyle to unfold.

The lofty screen “Bahama Room”, links to internal living spaces. The room draws an ambiguous line between internal and external spaces to promote a strong connection to the outdoors.

This yellow-rendered brick house situated on a Noosa River was recycled and transformed into an elegant, light-filled modern home that celebrates Subtropical living and noosa lifestyle.

Lindy Atkin and Stephen Guthrie (Bark Architects) are leaving their architectural footprint on the coast, now the rest of the world is taking notice.

Noosa’s distinct architectural language has been further enhanced by the generous and responsive design of Noosa’s Visitor Information Centre located on Hastings Street, Noosa. The roof canopy extends over the footpath inviting passers-by to pause in the shade and engage.

Living in London, these clients purchased a parcel of land above a wooded ridge above Noosa without having seen it. They had wanted to create a warm and air filled three bedroom house for a growing family and preserve some of the elements the couple love about warehouse living.

Looking deceptively small, the studio includes a full workspace for the architect’s entire office. On the adjacent property, Bark designed not only the house, but also a detached work pavilion to match the apparently relaxed idiom of the residence. But a view from the other side shows a complex composition which recalls the intensity of the constructivist detailing which the 1920’s modern applies to small buildings.
