The Boatshed features a sense of fluidity and a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors, perfectly embodying the typical outdoor lifestyle of the Western Australian coastal town of Mullaloo where the residence is located. Dalecki Design architectural designer Janik Dalecki encourages a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces — ultimately combining the concept of family with a healthy lifestyle.

The purpose of contacting Dalecki Design is to create a simple and modern home that wants a space that will bring their families together and help promote healthy, active lifestyles. To combine this outdoor lifestyle with everyday rituals, Dalecki Design has redesigned the layout of a typical Australian home. The innovative base folds around the back, while the backyard is designed to be useable — a large lawn sits where one would normally find an open-air dining area, providing space for entertainment and socializing. There is also an oversized garage with a beloved family boat parked inside, which is why the house is also famous.

By reacting sensitively to the site, ensuring mature trees are preserved and cleverly integrated into the landscape, there is a tangible connection between the outdoors and indoors. Almost every room in the house has access to the outdoors, creating a continuous, seamless indoor-outdoor buzz. For example, a well-lit children's bedroom leads directly to the backyard, meaningfully connecting interior and exterior spaces, and inviting people to have daily contact with the yard. Likewise, a sliding door in the living room causes constant movement between the two spaces. Modern coastal interior aesthetics are perfectly combined with a natural design approach. THE CONTRASTING PALETTE, STYLISH LINES, FUNCTIONAL DESIGN, AND SIMPLE APPLICATION OF MATERIALS AND FORMS EASILY ENHANCE THE SEAMLESS TRANSITION BETWEEN INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SPACES. Bold black and white textured finishes offset by wood trim add warmth, while burnished wood feature walls cleverly combine interior and exterior spaces. A celebration of outdoor living and the Western Australian coastal lifestyle, The Boatshed provides a typical backdrop to Australian family life.
