“You don’t get oceanside retreats more beautiful that this architect-designed, concrete, copper and glass beach house overlooking the surf, with 180-degree Indian Ocean views from all three rooms.”	“The attention to detail is immaculate: a pantry service, in-house masseuse, daily servicing … or a chef can come and cook dinner while you sit back with a glass of wine … and admire the surf from one of three expansive decks.”	“… a beach house born of a shared love of surfing, but one which brings a cinematic sensibility – the narrative, the frame and the edit – to an otherwise overwhilmingly beautiful site.”	“An architecturally celebrated temple to surfing and the Margaret River lifestyle, ron roozen’s beach house is no ordinary beach house”.

“… a luxurious fortress of solitude, perfect for just vibing out and tuning into the grooviness of the vast Indian Ocean, man.  Like a stark, pointy, rust-coloured tribute to Huey, Ron Roozen’s three-bedroom haven has become as important a stop on Australia’s surfing pilgrimage trail as Angourie or Bells Beach.”	“When it came to designing the perfect beach house, Ron Roozen had a few natural advantages.  A dedicated surfer as well as an artist, it was only to be expected that when he commissioned Sydney architect Dale Jones-Evans to design a beach house, the result would be dramatically different.  Ron Roozen’s Place is an ultra cool beach retreat.”	“A sense of scale and proportion is maintained through all elements -from windows and doorways to step and deck size.  The design works to blend with the environment rather than stand out against it.”	“A generous triangular site overlooking the ocean was the perfect stimulus for a diehard surfer to build his dream home. ‘My client was looking specifically for the “Bombie”, a surf term for the premier wave spot’ says architect Dale Jones-Evans who designed the extraordinary new house.”
