Spring Beach House by @scalearchitecture For @habitusliving "Designed in place – ‘site first’ – intended to feel as if it had always been there... ...Deeply embedded in the rugged landscape (slowly being regenerated after a past agricultural life and a period of invasive weeds), the timber cladding is set to patina, becoming an extension of the bush setting. The exterior’s locally sourced blue gum board-and-batten cladding was chosen for its natural durability and soft tones as well as the reuse of offcuts to minimise construction waste." “After rain, the blue gum deepens in colour, and over time it will weather gracefully, further blending the house into its surrounding landscape,” says Georgia Forbes-Smith.

PRESENTING THE IDEA 2025 MARK ROBINSON COMMUNITY AWARD WINNER: Parramatta Bike Hub by @scalearchitecture IDEA juror Jade Whittaker said: “This project reminds us of the impact a simple, light-touch approach can have in empowering community and reimagining forgotten public spaces. Through a modest architectural transformation, Scale Architecture has placed an old building back on the map, offering the community an adaptable place to connect and learn. Modular, affordable and designed for reuse, it’s a clever and resourceful approach.” View the IDEA winners on ADR – link in bio. 📸 @timclark.studio #IDEA2025
