The project
Stonehouse + Irons Architecture renovated this brick house on a quiet, informal street at Point Lonsdale, where native moonah trees line the street and fill the windows of the new living spaces. It is the house's third renovation. The red brick and tiled roof had sat uneasily in the beach setting, so a subdued palette of materials helps settle the house into the landscape.
A timber-framed window box was added to the front, and the internal layout was reworked to be more efficient. The 220 square metre house now supports growing family holidays across generations, with spaces to gather and others for quiet. It was completed in 2020.
