This modern bay house by architect Max Pritchett is located in Emu Bay, SA, Australia. The concept design is of a relaxed home holiday with wide views and sheltered outdoor areas. The house lays on an exposed site of sweeping views. The living area is sheltered with a dominant floating “lid” roof. It has two bedrooms on its wing that surround a rear-sheltered courtyard focusing on a wood-fired pizza oven. The sheltered outdoor space is complemented with expansive decks along the side of the living area. To maximize the views and create the dramatic form, the house is elevated a meter above the ground.
