A bespoke contemporary home located on the Mornington Peninsula. Designed to suit the specific rhythms of coastal life, the architectural response utilises a textured palette of painted brickwork, timber accents, and steel cladding to create a refined, modern silhouette. The layout is logically zoned, with the private bedroom wing situated toward the front of the home and the living space toward the rear.

The rear of the home opens into an expansive social hub oriented to maximise natural light and cross-ventilation. This living area is defined by a dramatic vaulted timber ceiling and a minimalist stone fireplace, creating a sense of volume that feels both airy and grounded. Large sliding glass doors facilitate an effortless transition to a gabled alfresco deck and pool area, ensuring the home is perfectly equipped for the lifestyle of the peninsula.
