The aptly named Sunshine House is a modern beach house in Australia that’s constructed of glass, concrete, and wood. Designed by Teeland Architects, it’s an open, airy house that still maintains a sense of privacy.

Nestled on a quiet back street behind a beach, the house is hidden by overarching trees that cloak it from public view. It is clad in concrete and glass, with large open windows that open up to the sky.
