Created as a refined coastal retreat for easy living and extended family gatherings, this Mornington Peninsula residence balances breathtaking clifftop views with a warm sense of intimacy. The owners sought a home that could comfortably accommodate visiting family yet remain cosy and practical for daily life.

Responding to its dramatic topography and sweeping vistas over Port Phillip Bay, the design embraces a sophisticated coastal aesthetic with a material palette chosen to harmonise with the surrounding landscape. Floor-to-ceiling glazing captures natural light from all angles, ensuring the ever-changing bay remains a constant, calming presence throughout the home.

Spaces are intuitively arranged to support both connection and retreat. A dedicated wing was designed exclusively for visiting family, while the main living zones, light-filled, open, and oriented to the horizon, anchor the experience of day-to-day living.

The residence includes three bedrooms, two living areas, and 2.5 bathrooms, including a showpiece ensuite with a freestanding bath overlooking the bay. Outdoor spaces extend the lifestyle offering, with an undercover alfresco zone, pool, sun deck, and fire pit arranged to create a seamless indoor/outdoor rhythm that suits both quiet relaxation and memorable entertaining. A double garage and workshop further support practical, long-term living.

Crafted from luxurious yet robust materials, the home sits gently within its clifftop setting, its form and palette thoughtfully tuned to the Peninsula’s coastal environment.

The result is a deeply considered family residence, perfect for its permanent residents, with room for extended family, and an enduring connection to its extraordinary location. Recognised as the 2017 HIA Eastern Victoria Winner for Custom Built Home $1–$2 million, it stands as the gold standard in contemporary Peninsula living.
