Whale Beach House is the one of contemporary beach house in Australia, located at the southern end of Whale Beach, between the main road and the beach. About the location, its characteristics and its history are part of the emotive connections that form a sense of place and context. Facing due east, the site falls away approximately 7 metres from the road to the eastern boundary and is flanked on both sides by brick- and-tile residences of a larger scale. Designed by Alex Popov & Associates, this project articulates the idea of a modernist approach to the peninsula’s traditional concept of a beach side dwelling. Architecture and physical location have always been inseparable from one another.
