The project
Stonehouse + Irons Architecture designed this 210 square metre house in a new coastal subdivision at Point Lonsdale for a couple with older children, with retirement in mind. Everything sits on one level.
The compact plan wraps around a central courtyard that traps the sun and shelters the house from cold southerly winds. A low, simple roofline and concrete breeze blocks give a contemporary take on mid-century houses. Inside, exposed concrete block walls and plywood ceilings give the living spaces a quiet, cosy feel, and a rear deck forms seating around an outdoor fire pit. The house was completed in 2020.
The dining table and kitchen framed by timber-lined walls.
