ATKINSON APARTMENTS, PORT DOUGLAS

These Dual Occupancy apartments inhabit a tapered block that extends down to a small creek that lines the edge of the Mirage golf course in Port Douglas where crocodiles frequent. The tapered shape of the land has generated overlapping planes in the forms of the building that allow light & ventilation into spaces whilst maintaining privacy between units. Wide eaves supported by inclined struts that penetrate the roof line help protect from monsoon rain & tropical sun.
