Exterior of Dune House by Herbst Architets

19 Breezy Bachs That’ll Have You Running to the Beach

6 of 20

While designing the Dune House, Herbst Architects drew inspiration from a nearby dunescape that undulates towards an impressive expanse of beach. The compact two-bedroom home is laid out with sleeping pavilions at either end of an open living space. The simple rectilinear form is clad in a timber rainscreen with a strong horizontal line at the top edge that echoes the horizon line, and a gently curving lower edge that mirrors the surrounding dunes.
