Beach shack

They cling stubbornly to sand dunes and hillsides along the Australian coast. Simple beach shacks slapped together in the 50s and 60s. Collective histories of family summer holidays, fishing, sand in bathing suits left strewn on railings after the obligatory post beach outdoor shower. A man's castle but definitely no mansion. Passed from generation to generation. Rare. Endangered. Swallowed up by McMansions. Lost forever. Unless they are saved, renewed and once again cherished. Like this Seal Rocks shack brought back by Bourne Blue Architecture. Nothing precious but such a treasure.

Now all they need to do is get underground power installed.

Seriously, that power pole must be knocking thousands off the value of that place!

Simplicity at its finest. I love the corner sliding glass doors. This beach shack shows that it is possible to make great spaces even if you have with little to work with. But, that's easier said than done. Thanks for sharing the photos!
