Marram House

Behind the dune ridge, invisible from the beach.

Marram House behind the dune ridge at dusk

The house

The covenant on this stretch forbids anything visible from the sand, so Castellan set the house a metre below the ridge line and ran a single low roof across it. From the beach there is nothing to see; from inside, the sea fills the upper third of every opening.

The cladding is untreated cedar and will be silver within four years. That was the intention.
