Here’s a cool beach house plan perfect for the hot climate down under. Australian architects Simon Couchman are behind this amazing beach home design, but it’s a far cry from the humble, care-free shoreline shack you may be envisioning. This interesting home offers single-level living and makes the most of every inch of space, extending living areas out into the outdoors via fully retractable bi-fold doors and glass walls. The U-shaped house plan allows for a private interior courtyard – and these outdoor living rooms are rivaled only by the chic indoors, where modern details abound at every turn. Intimate, yet open, with a view of every room across the yard, this is the perfect setting to entertain a crowd, or take some time to yourself and soak up some sun. Simon Couchman Architects
