Stunning surroundings
The Surly Crab Beach House by architecture firm Eerkes Architects is a stunning example of how to integrate architecture into its natural surroundings. The home is partitioned into three structures, with the two-story main living area adjacent to the beach and the guest wing and primary bedroom wing elevated and hugged by the edge of the forest. Each structure has glazed hallways that connect them and offer views of both the near and far landscape, transitioning from one part of the home to the other. This separation of program results in a variety of relationships between the architecture and the surrounding landscape, with each space offering unique views and experiences.
The main living area is a beautiful two-story space with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer stunning views of the beach and ocean. The open layout allows for plenty of natural light and makes it perfect for gatherings or simply relaxing while taking in the incredible scenery. The guest wing is just as beautiful, with large windows that offer views of the forest and provide a sense of being nestled in nature. The primary bedroom wing is similarly elevated and offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
