Point Lonsdale II, Victoria

In a new coastal subdivision this house provides a sanctuary from the tough ocean winds. With potential retirement in mind for a couple with older children, the Point Lonsdale II house is designed on a single level. Its compact layout wraps around a central courtyard which provides a sunny shelter away from harsh ocean winds.

What was the brief?
The client wanted to achieve a sustainable home that would allow aging in place, and multiple generations in a suburban coastal town. Their ambition was to maximise energy performance and reduce maintenance. No targets identified but capacity for self-sustaining garden area and inclusion of solar energy generation.

What building methods were used?
The humbleness of simple forms and standardised details also eases the construction process for the owner/builder family. Standard concrete block and natural cypress timber provide an affordable, low-maintenance and robust materiality of natural hue and texture suited to the harsh conditions of the coast.

Blurring the line from exterior to interior, the materials continue within, establishing a sense of quiet retreat: the concrete softening the light, while the timber cladding and windows offers a natural and simplistic warmth.
