Somers House, 2024

Somers Victoria, Australia

Located in a quiet street of Somers, a small coastal town overlooking Western Bay. Somers House looks to establish a private coastal retreat and revegetate its landscape to its original condition.

From the street, the house confidentially rises from the landscape as a singular rammed earth form. Internally the house is arranged around a central courtyard which layers view lines between spaces and creates a softening element against the concrete and rammed earth walls.

Designed to accommodate large groups of people and a couple, the house can be both private and open.
