Sorrento Beach House / Jost Architects

Hana Abdel — Mon, 21 Aug 2023 18:00:00 +0000

After snagging a quarter-acre block in the heart of Sorrento, our clients commissioned us to design a home that would suit them both as a holiday house for now and a permanent home in the future. The brief was exacting. A “super-stylish and cool” design that was seamless from inside to outside entertaining with Scandinavian and mid-century modern influences. A second-story with an amazing view, a separate reach, but not too far, bungalow for the clients’ three soon-to-be teenage children, and a solar-heated pool. Finally, a roof deck with unimpeded views of the surrounding tea trees. They also wanted at least four bedrooms, privacy from their neighbors, and, unusually for a beach house, a darker, moodier interior with plenty of timber, stone, and glass.

Sorrento Beach House / Pandolfini Architects

Nestled amongst holiday homes on the edge of Port Phillip Bay, the Sorrento Beach House has been conceived with a nostalgia for the simple forms and materials of holiday homes of the past. Composed of five separate pavilions arranged around a central outdoor living space, the house eschews the competition for water views and focuses inwards, placing the theatre of holiday life centre stage.

Set amongst the dunes and Moonah trees of Sorrento Back beach, this project comprises a new home for a family of four. Client and builder, James Clarebrough, wife Emily, and their two boys Archie and Milo had been living on the site for a couple of years, in an old fibro beach shack.

Warraweena House / Pitch Architecture + Design

Built in 1893 by a local Limeburner, Pitch aimed to breathe new life into this beachside Victorian while still respecting its historical value. The resulting design kept the classic façade, but added a contemporary rear extension with soaring floor to ceiling windows and glass doors.

The Clubhouse / Wolveridge Architects

Andreas Luco — Thu, 14 Feb 2019 17:00:00 +0000

This home, overlooking the fairways and surrounds of Sorrento Golf Club was designed for a couple planning to return to Australia after many years overseas. One of the clients grew up in an old Merchant Home on the site and holidayed there during childhood. Our response was to effectively create a luxury suite at the upper level, including an elevated garden and cantilevered pool. The home is constructed deep into the hillside with outstanding views of the golf course and beyond. We describe the architecture as a kind of sophisticated beach house which incorporates the kind of modern expectations, however, at a very basic level –this is a beach house, that incorporates cross ventilation pathways through it at both levels, with framed garden outlooks and a significant focus on the experience of natural light. Protected outdoor spaces are offered and emerging around the building is a landscape that extends the coastal dune flora typical of the area.

Sorrento Beach House / AM Architecture

Sorrento Beach house is a new dwelling located on Victoria’s first settlement site of 1803, on Sullivan’s Bay. The beach house begins as an austere and robust object in the landscape which begins to relax and respond to its natural environment as it approaches the water.

Sorrento House 1 / Vibe Design Group

Florencia Mena — Fri, 02 Sep 2016 22:00:00 +0000

Sorrento House 1, the latest coastal project from Vibe Design Group, is the Australian Beach house reborn. The building presents a modest, yet sinuous face to passers by. A well-honed palette of materials is introduced, their application modulated masterfully and subtly; the mark of an experienced hand. Timber battening twists to become shuttering for windows behind. A cast concrete wall articulates the point of entry. A low-slung, angular roof constructed from 18m sheets of custom Colorbond is punctuated by a cast concrete chimney; stylish protection from any seaward weather. If the exterior is uniquely Australian in vernacular, the interior might just as easily be Northern European or Japanese. The synthesis of timber, cast concrete and steel is sensitive and assertive in equal measure. Each material is given a role, an opportunity to shine solo, and contribute in concert. Silken timber renders concrete textural, and luxurious, in return.
