Tugan House
- designed by Fairweather Proberts, called Tugun Residence
- the client is involved in the construction industry
- site - beachfront of Tugun, a quiet town at the southern extremity of the Gold Coast
- the upper-floor facade is facetted and variegated, its concrete paneling whipped into geometric peaks with small, fissure-like openings in-between.
- the upper facades act as first line of defence against the elements
- the ground level facades are mostly glassed
- upper northern facade has only a few openings, protected for privacy; the lower northern facade has wide openings, extending the perceived space in the living areas out as far as the external fence
- beneath the sculpted panels on the southern facade is a system of sliding glass doors - low maintenance and simple forms in deference to the concrete above
- the facetted edges of the concrete panels are in fact thickenings that provide a haunch under which the sliding doors can be housed (this gives weather protection without the need for additional flashings and fixings)
- the solid upper level provides solar protection for the lower living areas, its overhang to the east creating a casual outdoor area overlooking the sea
- the structure reflects the client’s desire to feel part of the beach on good days, and to batten down when the weather requires
- the whole house is elevated slightly, for protection and privacy from the street and the neighbouring property
- the Tugun Residence’s simple steel structural system supports the large internal voids (it allows for concrete and glass to create the external fabric of the building, and for the concrete to become the robust edge of the major living spaces, alternating with plain painted plasterboard, where possible the structure is expressed as fabric and materials are simply expressed and differentiated)

Isaacson/Davis Beach House
- designed by John Wardle Architects Pty Ltd
- built by Kane Construction (Vic) Pty Ltd in association with Mal McQueen
- located in Balnarring , Victoria
- the house serves as a "weekender" for the clients
- the house is intended as a retreat, a place to relax and "run the dogs along the beach"
- the house is long, where living areas are situated at one end, services in the middle and bedrooms at the far end
- sleeping and living areas are more emphatically separated - becomes two storeys, the ground floor as garage
- the building is modern, interior spaces are spanned with a structural efficiency that allows for a maximum interplay between inside and out
- dynamic interplay between solid and void is explored, at times extending into the landscape (protruding southern niches)
- the open roof of the outdoor room fosters the sense of capturing additional space
- the external skin is composed by two stud framed skins
- the further the travelers move into the house, the use of timber in window joinery, floorboards and furniture is scaled and finished to express the inherent qualities of the material.
