Anglesea Beach House

The Design

This expansive beach house is larger in size at 310m2 but light on impact, using by using passive design techniques and modular construction with sustainable materials.  It was important to the owners that the home connected well to the outdoors, encouraging interactions with nature and the beautiful environment that this coastal community has to offer.

The Anglesea House is a five-bedroom, and four-bathroom home, consists of nine modules & is constructed to a bushfire attack level of 29. This beach escape is a fully bespoke, customized design, aligning to the client’s brief & budget from the get-go. The home was pieced together over two days and then fitted off to all services and decks onsite. A rammed earth wall at the front of the home & Fiona Brockhoff Design landscaping really capped off this contemporary coastal house.

Featured specifications

The exterior of the house includes a combination of sustainably sourced natural timbers and fiber cement cladding (which is a combination of recycled material compressed into sheets), offers a softer cement textured appearance. Black trims, pergolas and window frames with the occasional architectural shroud outline the structure and tie all the materials together. The juxtaposition of colours & textures creates a modern yet warm and humble aesthetic to the home. Over time, the timbers will weather off and create a rustic, silvered look that will help to root the home in the relaxed coastal location.
