Cake House / Alexander Symes Architect
The original structure on site was affectionately known as 'Cake House' by the local community. Its sharp, kite-like shape provided the coastal town of Mollymook with an icon and a way-finding point for surfers. Respecting and upgrading this iconic shape became the overarching concept for the project. Additionally, a high-performance envelope, durability, and protection from storm surges were also emphasised.
