A coastal retreat on the Mornington Peninsula that captures ocean views, vineyard surrounds and the weathered beauty of Victoria's coast. The home responds to its exposed site with durable natural materials, careful solar orientation and flexible spaces designed for extended family stays and weekend entertaining. Inside, stone, timber and raw textures echo the surrounding landscape; outside, layered terraces and wind-protected courtyards extend living year-round.
Detailing creates a confident yet quiet frontage that sits comfortably among established homes.
Large sliders and highlight glazing pull in the sun while screens manage outlooks to neighbours.
Storage runs through the kitchen, pantry, laundry and garage so surfaces stay clear.

Let’s talk about your build
A long island anchors the kitchen. The stone splashback brings movement; warm metallics lift the darker cabinetry. A dedicated bar tucks between the kitchen and dining, keeping entertaining separate from the cooking zone.

Two living areas cover different moods, one relaxed with built-in joinery, the other set up for dining and larger gatherings. The cinema room adds acoustic walling and tiered seating for a true lights-down experience.

A temperature-controlled, glass-fronted wine room displays the collection like a feature piece. In the main bathroom, full-height stone and a freestanding bath sit beside a timber-lined sauna ideal after a swim or on winter evenings.

Soft textures and sheer curtains bring hotel calm to private rooms. Robes are generous, with concealed cabinetry and a walk-in linen so everything has a place.

The covered alfresco opens to a low-maintenance garden and lap pool. Privacy screens, layered planting, and durable paving suit Melbourne’s seasons and everyday use.

Documentation, engineering and selections were coordinated up-front to streamline permits and reduce variations. Regular site updates and milestone walk-throughs kept the program on track.
