Wategos Beach House, NSW

When award winning architect Phil Harris from Troppo was asked to design a house at Wategos Beach in Byron Bay the brief was to create a home that had an open layout, invited the outdoors in, provided deep protection from the sun whilst creating outdoors spaces open to rainforest, beach and sky views. The original house was dug into the hillside, it was dark and unventilated.

Having used Safetyline Jalousie louvre windows in other projects Phil was confident that Safetyline Jalousie would create the desired ventilation and ambience for this home.

\What the architect likes about Safetyline Jalousie Louvre Windows is the solidness of the louvre profiles. The horizontal lines create a feeling of strength, security and protection yet maintaining elegance in design.

Harris told us that “Safetyline Jalousie Louvre Windows make a strong statement about being a louvre, more so than louvres with a centre pivot. They are a bolder form of louvre and I think they are pretty cool!”
