The project
Field Office Architecture designed this four-bedroom home in Point Lonsdale, on a modest block bordering Ballara, the historic summer house of Australia's second Prime Minister Alfred Deakin. It was designed as a forever home for a semi-retired couple, in a quiet coastal modernism.
Set back from the street for a north-facing garden and outdoor living area, the house combines timber cladding, rammed earth-like block walls and exposed timber ceilings, with a covered upper deck looking over the coastal scrub.
