Owner-architect Shaun Lockyer was inspired to build upon the Donovan Hill-designed beach house in North Stradbroke Island, Queensland to introduce outdoor living spaces that could be used throughout the year.
The Straddie Shack is a 135-square-metre home with four bedrooms arranged over two levels, and wrapped around an internal courtyard. The renovation project involved a small recalibration of the house to complete the internal courtyard space and add a rear deck opening onto the National Park and its native bushland.
In addition to incorporating a series of bespoke elements including timber screening devices, built-in seats, daybeds and interior decor, Lockyer chose SolarSpan insulated roof panels to cover the extended deck, making it liveable in all weather conditions, adding more useable floor space in this area, and creating the perfect Queensland beach-inspired indoor outdoor living space for the family.
