An Architect's Own House Situated on a Remote Beach (House Tour)

- As an architect's own house, St Andrews Beach House is imbued with a sophisticated understanding of place, material and functionality. Located in the Mornington Peninsula, the holiday home explores the ways that built form and the landscape connect through considered, patient intervention.
Originally a series of sand dunes, St Andrews Beach House is visually inspired by the primitive nature of its surrounds. As an architect's own house, the structure was built over four stages and, without competition to the site’s landscape, emerges as a robust yet delicate construction.
To protect from the intensity of the weather, the home recedes to the north with a cabana and accompanying private pool. There is a deliberate connection made between the water and the site’s neighbouring ocean - the glass within the house, linking the home’s two volumes, facilitates this connection and allows a deliberate water-to-water moment to occur.
St Andrews Beach House is an architect's own house and is created from a series of contemplative moments and emotions. Crafted over twenty years, time plays an important role in understanding the built form. Beneath the grand stairs, the under-croft area has been converted into a terrarium, evoking a rainforest ambiance and channelling a private and intimate pause within the internal space.
An architect's own house, the structure is shaped to work with the landscape. The garden was a considered aspect of the design, and it was important that the holiday home did not disturb the landscape or disrupt the movement of the sand dunes. Instead, the house feels settled. The home is controlled to align with the sensations of the site; its orientation is purposeful in its reflection of the ocean.
Internally, light is critical to bringing the space to life. The daylight provides a glow and a warmth to the interior design, whilst the evening is illuminated by concealed LED strips. The lighting the further speaks to the refined and measured architecture of the home.
As an architect's own house, St Andrews Beach House is a cumulation of materials selected for their meaning and purpose - each feature works to endure the climate and work with the surrounding landscape. Cool greys, warm rusts, silvers and golds saturate the home’s natural palette and continues the journey of connection between the internal and external site. The space around the home breathes with the landscape, searching for a reflective harmony between architecture, material, detail and the natural environment.

the incredible house is one thing, but this guy's narration is art itself.
Agreed. It's all about those jargons
Bro, its incredible.
I totally agree.
Indeeeeed!
@Rob LOL I felt the opposite. Great house and architecture -- pretentious blather.
This guy is a poet. His description of the house is poetry.
Dump yard is what it is
I was just about to write this very same comment, and yours is the first comment. 😊😊
Absolutely 💯
Couldn't agree more 🥰
he really is hahaha
“The tyranny of downlighting”- I’ll use that one 😂. A lot of architectural terminology in this one. Nik you could be an art critic. I love the fact that the house has been built in stages and adding what was needed only after many years of observation. Built for purpose.
i read your comment as soon as he started saying it haha
i never heard a more beautiful phrase
It is an incredible phrase, isn’t it? Memorable!
This man just spoke every word possible
😂
This is the most mature, real, mesmerising architecture I've seen over the last 5-10 years. Absolutely incredible work of combining different scales, materials, and lighting (both artificial and daylight) to create completely different atmospheres. Architecture of emotions, connection with yourself through nature around. Thank you for showing this to us!
My mind is blown. The description, the detail, the thought that went into creating this home is astounding. I hope they enjoy every minute of it.
Oh they will
This whole thing is phenomenal - the house is absolutely stunning and his way of communicating is pure art.
I love the water to water view through the middle. And the terrarium in the underneath is a wonderful way of bringing the outside into the living space. Beautiful home.
My favourite parts as well
Fr at first I was like why not just make an infinity pool, then when he explained it, it sounded even better.
I love the fact that Nick refers to this beautiful piece of architecture as a shack.
Good god these videos are so much better than those terrible AD videos with realtors walking you through the property. Nice work.
wow, best architecture channel on youtube. hands down
😇
This house should be a case text book example as to why you have a show like this. I REALLY LOVE THIS HOUSE
This house is a work of art, but so is your narrative
Amazing blessing n peace to you all 🌞 ❤️
Beautiful! The land is again, amazing. The home build is respectful of the land it's on. The vibe is calm. The location of the pool with the ocean view is priceless. Spectacular!
Good for the owner of this home. I hope they have an abundant of tranquility and joy in their lives
The passion in his speaking gives me LIFEEEEE
This is the most amazing piece of architecture I've seen yet. I've had the idea of having a stream flow through my home underneath glass with bamboo shoots on the edges and seeing that terrarium expanded my thinking tenfold. Incredible. And his narration was absolutely perfect.
I'm in love with this, every detail of the house is amazing. His explanation was the cherry on top.
Love how the landscape imposes itself within the house. What a location!
The ideas behind this house are crazy, very well thought out and it is beautiful!!
Of course there's the beauty of the houses and the mastery of those who were involved in projecting and building them. But the work of whoever captures the footage of these places is mindblowing.
Truly unique house and the location is very beautiful!
Even walking down the hallway is like a scenic journey. And that view from the pool to the ocean!!
This is both visually and intellectually stimulating. The house is a work of art and the architect is so thoughtful and articulate explaining it, that it connects what your eyes see to rationalization of why it is so.
That room on the ground floor is stunning!
love the connection between pool and ocean through glass!
The Local Project has the coolest homes. Thanks!!
This was one my absolute favorite house. Timeless and use negative space and positive I absolutely adore….
i wish i could watch this in a big screen. it feels like a poetic movie!
Stunning house. The downstairs space is unique and magical
stunning residence, absolutely stunning.
‘saved me from the tyranny of down lighting’ this man is both a genius and the most relatable person to live
St Andrews Beach House and Mansfield House are my top two favorites,
His description of the house is poetry.
Every word spoken speaks for the process of architecture itself. Magnum Opus!
AMAZING! thank you for sharing! I live in Argentina, Bahia Blanca city, were the weather is so much alike this location. The proyect is perfect!
“The tyranny of down lighting”. Spot on..
Im glad im not the only one wo thinks this man is saying all the right things... a poet...i love it!!! SELL ME ANYTHING!!!!
Yay! His OWNES beach house.
One of the best videos on The Local Project yet
Awesome review of his own home which goes to show you his passion and love for this house .
I preferred this house when it was in its first stage, just the two shacks. The additions make it look overbuild to my eyes, but that probably says more about me than the house.
I agree. It looks like a college library
Agree.
Magnificent! Material selection sublime.
Epic! The delivery of the description of the home is pure art like I'm watching the museum built on a home.
So powerful! Thanks Local Project
Well thought out and proceeded in a manner befitting the environment.
Poetry of material, sound and word.
Pesce's Up7 Piede, Campana Bros Vermelha, and Colombo's Joe are exquisitely curated and situated here. Lovely informative and inspirational film - cheers. Subscribed.
My dream house and place…idyllic setting and unique abode….so calming, so restful.
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. This house? This house is horrendous in my eyes.
Amazing. Such a dream house.
stunning house beautifully in contact with it's surrounds.
I have seen this house in an architecture book before, glad to see more angles in this video.
jesus this is the best architectural thing i have seen in my life
That was so amazing and effectual. The furniture selection was really good
Absolutely stunning house, environment, story and the wideo 🤙🏼
everything is about story telling, story telling is the ultimate substrate
art is 90% about the description, like you can make any decision, and then conjure up some story about the meaning behind it and how beautifully it connects everything together, and it sounds so much better
An incredible house, I'm so happy I found this channel!
The narration is just as profound as this magnificent abode.
Beautiful video on an exquisite home. such a joy to watch!
So many surprises, the poetry….
Absolutely incredible cinematography
Love the place, so beautiful!
A work of art !!! Truly !
Its the surrounding, NATURE !! When we build adapting to the enviroment we are doing the correct way of building !
Thank you for reminding us about the importance of our continuing search for beauty and, by extension, truth
Beautiful narration of a beautiful property.
Totally agree with his negative view on down lights. 4:55
I’m in love with this house
This TH-cam channel is so rad !
I just bought the hard copy. Cant wait to get that. Beautiful video. Well done
Brilliant!
Very nice, suits it’s location perfectly!
Beautiful. . .
stunning!
This is breathtaking 🙏
Absolutely mesmerizing space you've created there. 🌱
It really is!
This is the most INTERESTING house I've ever seen
Absolutely beautiful
Stunning house with a design. And of course view tho! I guess your channel is one of the best on youtube.
The moment i saw that rain forest terrarium..its really press the pause button, internally, i mean the sense.
I'd like this guy to narrate every house film. Even those he didn't design.
aww this is amazing
Artfully done
Thank you Local Project for your amazing channel 👍
Glad you enjoy it!
this guy encapsulates everything architecture should be, function and simple beauty. And a beauty that matches the environment, and feels organic and flows, while mostly using right angles. the recessed lighting, my goodness. everything about this house is 11/10
Where? How? You guys think that because he’s a prominent architect , who built a really big house and knows how to poetically talk about something that this is great? This house is depressing. You feel it too, u just won’t admit it
@@kofiamankwa9258 I agree the exterior is a bit depressing, and his art isn't my taste, certainly, but I like the natural light and trying to blend with the environment. Maybe a 8 or 9 out of 10 for me.
Gorgeous!❤️
Beautiful,one with nature.
This is literally art.
you set a high standard for the presentation of top quality architectural design. our channel is new to youtube with converted TV shows of the same theme, and we are learning. thanks for the example. cheers.
Splendid! UK
amazing video yet again :)
Amazing house
This was riveting ! 🎖
The sunset 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️

Amazing
