The name ?Sjøhavn? was inspired by the client?s Scandinavian origin and meant ?Sea Gardens.? Situated within the Noosa River network in Australia, the location is well known for being a place of leisure and relaxation for locals and tourists. Being riverfront, the house required a design response sensitive to flood levels. The underlying principle of the project was to design a family home that responded to the natural surroundings while creating an overall sense of connection and providing interstitial spaces for retreat and privacy. A connection between the ground plane and the river?s edge was an important consideration identified during the initial briefing.
