Wildcoast Residence / Studio Kennon

Pratik Mour — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 17:00:00 +0000

A house that does not resist the coast so much as negotiate with it. Positioned at the southern edge of the Mornington Peninsula, where the land yields to Bass Strait, the house inhabits a landscape of remarkable intensity. Wind arrives unbroken from the Southern Ocean, rain travels across the horizon, and the air is saturated with salt. The architecture does not resist these forces. Instead, it settles quietly into them, becoming part of the character of the place.

Franklin Residence / Ola Studio

Hana Abdel — Fri, 02 Jul 2021 06:00:00 +0000

Franklin is a four-bedroom residence designed for a single owner with an extended family of children and grandchildren that will overtake the place during holiday periods. Sitting calmly on the lands of the Bunurong people, the site is situated along a road screened with dense shrubs about 400 metres from the bay in Portsea. Along the road, small sandy driveways disappear into the wall of foliage, invoking a connection to the beachside setting, although much of the planting is exotic. Hidden behind the trees is a collection of unremarkable suburban houses with a couple of odd gems immediately to the site’s rear.

Daniel Tapia — Sat, 06 Jun 2020 17:00:00 +0000

FGR Architects has brought the best of simple, minimalist design to Wildcoast Road, Portsea, by creating a rectangular module home that effortlessly stands out amongst the establishment. The design is meticulous and considerate where upon first look, the family residence appears to be floating, as it sits perched on a crest. The unique land typology allows for a six-meter cantilever before gently cascading. The unique engineering behavior of the build informs its considered design approach. A core central module stabilizes the two parts of the unique linear structure that is precisely 30 meters in length and 11 meters wide.

The Point Nepean Residence is situated amongst thick tea tree parklands overlooking Portsea Pier and Port Phillip Bay. The façade was created using imported Travertine from Eco Outdoor, a product that will withstand everything the peninsula weather may throw at it.

Portsea Sleepout / Mitsuori Architects

Cristobal Rojas — Sun, 05 Jun 2016 13:00:00 +0000

This sleep out is located within the grounds of a family beach retreat in a secluded coastal setting. The brief called for a family guest house to acocmodate the owner’s children and grand children. Architecturally the new building was required to sit sympathetically within the native landscape whilst being architecturally distinct from the main house.

Point King Residence / HASSELL

Karen Valenzuela — Thu, 26 Dec 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Point King Residence is located at Portsea on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia. The site is characterised by its cliff top location and orientation towards the north. The entire house sits almost two metres below ground level, limiting the visual bulk of the building when viewed from other parts of Point King and the Mornington Peninsula. It is a strategy that deals with the scale of the building and links it to the site.
