Text description provided by the architects. This house was designed for ourselves and our twins and is located on the ocean side of the Mornington Peninsula. Our brief was to create a simple house to nurture a love of nature within our children, and instill within them a desire to live slowly. With our work, as with this project, we are very interested in a phenomenological approach to design. One philosophical characteristic that binds all of the work of our practice is the importance placed on the full range of human and sensory experiences. The changing play of light on surfaces, the breezes that move through and around buildings, the touch and smell of walls and gardens, the sound of spaces, all play a part in the reception of architecture as it is lived in, and is an important determinant of our well being.
