Perched on a sand dune on the ocean beach of Blairgowrie on the Mornington Peninsula, this home enjoys the views of both Bass Strait and Port Phillip.
The massive windows on the southern side of the house facing Bass Strait immerses the inhabitants in the view, giving a feeling of hovering over the dunes toward the ocean.
The material selections combines bold and robust concrete elements, which anchor the house into its surrounds and the timber cladding offsetting this by offering a softer link to the greys of the adjacent tea-tree scrub. These materials continue internally providing seamless links and enhancing the connection between inside and out.
