It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Sessùn Barcelona by Cobalto Studio.

“A dilapidated asbestos-clad boat shed has been transformed into a treasured extension of the Somers Beach House, enjoyed by several generations of the family. The existing structure, built in the 1950s, has been replaced and remodelled to provide modern day amenity along the Somers beachfront, preserving the original footprint and floor levels of the existing building.”

If you liked the Somers Beach House you’re going to LOVE the boathouse. My days by the beach would be spent watching the water lap the shore within its timber-clad walls. Once again by Wellard Architects.

“Somers Beach House occupies a prominent beach fronted property overlooking Westernport Bay with expansive views to Phillip Island and beyond to Bass Strait. The house sits on the steepest section of the site, with two generous levels acting independently of one another. It is designed as an inter-generational holiday house, with a focus on the upper level of the home being comfortable when occupied only by a retired couple.”

Now that’s the way to do a beach house. I’m packing my bags. I guess I can just turn up uninvited. A sensitive and considered approach to people and site. Somers Beach House by Melbourne-based Wellard Architects.

HALLELUJAH!!! Designer Anne McDonald did not paint the wood work in this home! That along with the moody wallpapered dining room, the classic European-style kitchen and the dramatic eye-candy bathrooms, is how you totally nail a 1880’s renovation. I AM IN LOVE! Photos: Wing Ho.

It is a reform of an existing house in ruins, which had already been built with sandstone walls sourced from a local sandstone quarry. The house is located on the outskirts of Porreras, a town located in the center-south of the Island of Mallorca, on a plot with a certain slope and views towards the town surrounded by the northern part of an oak grove and a cultivated field where traditionally they grow apricots. Raw materials are used to build the interior of the house.
Simple, modern, bright and blends with the landscape. What a work of art this is. Designed by munarq architectural studio. Photos: Silvia Foz
