The Nowais Beach Estate is a waterfront property comprised of five residences with ocean views – the main house being for the parents, while the other four are for the children and their families. The houses congregate around a central community courtyard – with swimming pools and outdoor seating – that opens up to the ocean. The parents’ house is centrally located at the main axis of the site with direct views to the ocean and acts as a gateway for the estate, while the children’s houses flank the courtyard. The main spaces for all houses are allowed views to the ocean through floor to ceiling windows. Stylistically, the houses are comprised of contemporary, simple, and clean masses and lines in a combination of light and dark colored stone that are complimented by large open windows.
