海滨遗址位于罗布堡脚下，属于一个原始而独特的环境。直接进入一片田园诗般的海滩，它的特点是其起伏的沙丘和茂密的土著植被的非凡多样性，包括一个建立良好的乳木丛灌木丛。这里有炎热的夏天和温和的冬天，还有来自东北海岸的凉风。利用大部分地点的大沙丘，景观最大化，将生活水平提升到自然地面水平之上，梯田在沙丘上形成。

The beach-front site falls within a pristine and unique environment, nestled at the foot of the Robberg. With direct access to a strip of idyllic beach, it is characterized by its rolling dunes and the dense indigenous vegetation of extraordinary variety, including a well establish Milkwood thicket. Thesite is subject to hot summers and moderate winters, with a cooling on-shore breeze, from the North East. Taking advantage of the large dune across the majority of the site, the views were maximised by elevating the living levels to above natural ground level, terracing built forms down the dune.

该设计结合了大面积的玻璃和广泛使用的户外空间，每一方面的房子有一个露台或甲板。室内空间的线性开放式组合使每个房间都能看到。为了利用海洋和遥远的山景，同时提供极端的气候保护，居住空间被设计成西南/东北方向。造型的长方形、线性元素、大面积的水平玻璃、木材覆盖层和膨胀的外部露台是设计的主要元素。另外，自然的fynbos被带到房子里，使人感觉房子是自然的，不会干扰自然美。

The design incorporates large glazed areas and extensive use of outdoor spaces, with each aspect of the house having a terrace or deck. The linear open plan composition of the interior spaces allows views from every room. To take advantage of the sea and distant mountain views, while providing protection from the extremes of climate, the living spaces were designed with South West/North East orientations. Sculptured rectangular forms, linear elements, large areas of horizontal glazing, timber cladding and expansive external terraces are the principal elements of the design.Externally the natural fynbos was brought up to the house achieving a feeling that the house is set in nature and does not disturb the natural beauty.
