Central Queensland Coast, Australia.
Rules Beach is a little known community located between Bundaberg and Agnes Waters on the Queensland coast in Australia. The site for this new resort community has absolute beach frontage, with views over the South Pacific. The master planning and resort design references traditional coastal settlements in Australia.
Intended as a low cost family resort, a simple street system offering an address to each of the 15 beach Houses and 42 smaller beach shacks, arranged to afford views to both the north-eastern aspect and views to the ocean. This rudimentary, yet refined “fibro” typology of predominantly single storey, with some minor 2 storey houses in an unfenced, casual native landscape provides a safe, secure and lazy beach holiday experience, so desired by Australian families. A central store, where watercrafts are available, a pool, playground and barbecue facilities complete the first major stage of this new beachside community.
