Loacted in the idyllic Mornington Peninsula, Eastwell House is a contemporary take on the traditional beach house. While accommodating a mix of lifestyles for the modern family, the design still preserves and celebrates the existing heritage dwelling.

Accommodating all modes of family life
A study and secondary living space have been integrated into the existing building to allow family members or children with friends a space to relax, work or play when a degree of privacy is preferred.
The extension features full-height glazing at ground level, with a dining room that opens directly to a deck to
optimise outdoor living in summer.
“We have minimal fingerprints in our work – we craft uniqueness in each project.”
– Claire McGuire, Senior Project Architect
The introduction of glazed links between Eastwell’s three main architectural forms provides a pause between spaces as well as a change in scale and material selection. The physical separation adds privacy and allows an abundance of natural light into the internal areas.
Materials that unify
A light timber floor board in the interiors picks up the neutral colour scheme of the exterior.
Concrete interspersed throughout robust joinery fulfils brief for light-filled spaces.
