Studio Johnston Arrives 75sqm, Karala Seaview Villa, Australia

Whale Beach House is elegant and purposeful to expand and shrink as needed. Studio Johnston creates a contrasting home that connects with the ocean and the sandstone rocks below, creating a firm sense of belonging within the residence. Whale Beach Villas have the flexibility and adaptability to ensure multi-generational functionality of family members. Although the form sits in a sandstone surface, the permanence of its concrete elements provides a sense of security and a sense of impenetrability. Wide glass windows and an open terrace bring elements of contrast and balance to the originally heavier materials — a sense of inclusivity.

Studio Johnston connects space with small injections of shared warmth and personality, allowing for personal expression and connection experiences. The Whale Beach Villa is a response to its unique location. Since it is located between Palm Beach and Whale Beach, this form has become a tribute to coastal aesthetics while providing an immersive base for its owners. The key to home adaptability is integrated low maintenance, combined with selected timeless and durable materials that will be long-lasting.

While the view to the outside enhances the sense of place, creating a private and quiet-like area allows residents to immerse themselves in a tranquil atmosphere. Considering contact with the elements is a key driver behind the home, homes use natural energy to reduce resource waste—optimizing solar gain and positioning open and closed outdoor patios to direct and control incoming energy and heat. Though just a narrow venue, the compactness of each layer combines functionality and passivity to ensure a sense of fluidity and visual connection that runs through the entire space.
