The St Andrews Beach House By Austin Maynard Architects

Austin Maynard Architects has recently completed the St Andrews Beach House, a two storey circular holiday home located on the Mornington Peninsula in Australia.

Less than five metres (16 feet) in radius, the house has multiple outlooks and an open deck area that connects the interior to the outdoors, expanding the living space.

Inside, the ground floor is dedicated to the social areas of the home, with the dining room and kitchen sharing the same space.

The ground floor also has a living room, a bathroom and a laundry. Windows provide views of the bush, rugged sand dunes, and scrub, that surround the house.

A dark green metal spiral staircase leads upstairs to the bathroom and bedroom zone.

Unlike a traditional bedroom layout, the upstairs sleeping area is essentially one bunk room, separated by curtains, allowing the space to be used as a second living or games room.

In the bathroom, large format tiles cover the walls, while smaller hexagonal tiles cover the floor.
