Dimdidium Design have designed the four-storey home overlooking Maroubra Beach in Sydney. The building has been designed to make the most of its seaside view. The building is divided into two homes, one for a young family and the other for their parents.
The home has been designed to suit the seaside view, the sunlight angles and prevailing winds. Extensive use of frameless glass panels and glazed walkways allow clear sight lines through to the courtyards and views of Maroubra Beach. EnduroShield for glass has been professionally applied to all exterior glass surfaces including windows, doors and balustrading. As the homes are 50m from the sea, all of the extensive glazed areas were treated by EnduroShield for glass to reduce the build up of salt caused by ocean spray reaching the homes during stormy weather.
The treatment can also reduce both the effects of salt etching and the cost and effort of cleaning. The environmental benefits were also taken into account, with the treated areas requiring less water and chemicals for cleaning.
