This website documents the history of a mid-century project home, the Lend Lease Beachcomber. A popular choice for Sydney’s hilly terrain, the Beachcomber was a budget-priced piece of Bauhaus architectural design.
I started collecting material on the history of these houses in 2004, which began turning into a website in 2011. Since then a whole community of Beachcomber fans has emerged, with regular gatherings around Australia. In 2017 www.beachcomber.com.au was awarded a National Trust Heritage Award.
