Building: Florida Beach House
Architect: iredale pedersen hook architects
Location: Florida Beach, Australia
Why We Liked This:

The Florida Beach House is not, contrary to what you might initially think, in Florida, but in Australia. (In Florida Beach, Australia, duh.) The name aside, the handsome house comprises a glass pavilion containing the living space; this tidy volume is tucked underneath a stylized, angular canopy whose zigzag profile references a design by Jorn Utzon. The north and south facades are deeply inset from the edge of the overhang, creating bands of deck space on either side. The house’s sculptural silhouette mimics the sand dunes of the beach in the foreground and can be spotted from quite a distance on the ocean.
