Sustainable Beach Cottage – a Contemporary Island Retreat at Couran Point, Australia

The architects of Australia’s Arkhefield firm are making a point with their design for the Couran Point House, and their message of private, low-maintenance and sustainable living is wrapped up in a luxurious package. This modern Bahaman-styled beach cottage is largely characterized by its high, angled roof that frames the home’s widespread windows and the inviting waterfront terrace below. The home’s north and south facades are closed off, shielding the home from both its neighbors and the sweltering summer sun. In addition to its thoughtful placement, this modern design incorporates sustainable features like solar technology, rainwater recycling, renewable bamboo cladding and thermally efficient monolithic flooring. The home’s 3,821-sq.-ft. interior is divided into distinct “public” and “private” living spaces. A double-height living room promotes interaction, while the private wing of two separate levels removes the bedrooms and service areas from the rest of the house. Arkhefield
