The collaboration between Blok and Vokes & Peters culminates in the completion of a trio of modular beach houses, elegantly crafted for three sisters whose fond memories of holidaying at this site trace back to their teenage years. Designed with equal frontage to ensure equity and harmony, each house features a central garden that is open to the sky, infusing the elongated, narrow floor plan with light, air, and a touch of greenery.
Positioned at the beachfront, each residence uniquely layers a living room above a kitchen. These spaces are seamlessly connected through a double-height verandah that opens expansively to the dunes, blurring the lines between the built environment and natural landscape.
The construction process saw each home composed of four prefabricated modules, which were fully completed at the Blok factory in Brisbane. These modules were then transported to the island on a chartered barge and carefully craned into place over two days, marking a significant achievement in modular architectural design.
