Mount Martha House is a cost-effective timber family home inspired by the vernacular of the Mornington Peninsula; a contemporary interpretation of Australian coastal architecture. Its L-shaped layout embraces an established pin oak tree, creating a private outdoor space with a pool and deck that integrates with the natural surroundings.

Set quietly within a typical suburban streetscape, the house rests alongside familiarity, carefully understated and modestly refined. Composed of Colorbond roofing, recycled brickwork, and timber shiplap cladding, its presence is not asserted, but assembled from what feels appropriate, aligning with the street rather than imposing upon it.

Marianne House is a residential extension located in Rye on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. The project exemplifies a considered balance between preservation and expansion, respecting the original home's character while thoughtfully adapting it for contemporary living. The design reinterprets key features of the existing house—such as exposed rafters, pine-clad walls, and a brick fireplace— through a contemporary lens, creating a seamless dialogue between old and new.
