Terrigal Beach House by Jorge Hrdina Architects
Jorge Hrdina Architects, the Terrigal Beach Housewas designed with two things in mind – the view, and a goal of being the only building in sight. Architect Jorge Hrdina succeeded in both goals with this ambitions house design that stretches along the north shore of Sydney, Australia.
This modern house boasts a 180-degree view of the water outside – a breathtaking sight – and its main living level sits above the rooftops of neighboring homes, putting them quietly out of sight. Just outside the sliding floor-to-ceiling windows, a 19-meter lap pool seems to spill seamlessly into the ocean outside. On the other side of the glass, a clean and contemporary kitchen overlooks barbecue bench and deck.
The main bedroom sits on the street-side of the house. At the opposite side, a sitting room is enclosed in glass walls, bringing the endless view right into the living room and rivaling the television any day of the week. A contemporary, modern polished staircase leads down to the lower level, which houses a shared bathroom and two bedrooms opening onto a courtyard – all this, tucked directly beneath the lap pool and the upper sitting room.
The kitchen has sliding windows onto an outside barbecue bench and stacking glass doors open to the deck and lap pool. At the sitting-room end of the space, glass is mainly fixed, with a pair of sashless windows providing cross-ventilation.

[...] Created with a desire of having both the view and the only building to be in sight is what the Terrigal Beach House is. Built along the north shore of Sydney, Australia, Jorge Hrdina Architects was able to succeed on both of their goals with this house. It got a wonderful view with its 19-meter lap pool that seems to be like an ocean outside the sliding floor to ceiling windows. While on the other, side of the glass is a kitchen that is super clean and contemporary and overlooks barbecue bench and deck. I feel like when I am on this house, I will really feel the beach mania. – via [...]
