Seaside
Residential and hospitality architecture designed for coastal environments and seaside locations.
Seaside architecture addresses the unique challenges and opportunities of building near water, where design must respond to natural landscapes, climate conditions, and the relationship between built structures and coastal terrain. Projects in this category explore how to integrate accommodation and living spaces thoughtfully within sensitive seaside settings.
The community examines diverse approaches to seaside design, from large-scale resort developments to intimate residential retreats. Work ranges from hotels nestled within natural pine forests to single-family homes that engage with beach landscapes through material choices, spatial planning, and careful site integration.
