EASTOP ARCHITECTS learns and works on the land of the Wurundjeri People.
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians as the first place makers on this land.
We pay our respect to their care and knowledge of this special country and culture.
Situated atop the cliffs of Mornington, a multi-level, layered home has been conceived to be both outward facing and internalised, maximising views of the bay and providing privacy from adjacent properties.
A material palette of oxidised concrete, stainless steel and tinted glass references the dark clay cliffs of the surrounding natural context and creates a dramatic backdrop to the living spaces.
An emphasis on blurring the boundaries between landscape with interiors is a key theme in the design. The bold facade appears to float upon a large boulder and is entered via a weaving garden path. Internally, vertical gardens transcend and connect levels, each bedroom expands to its own private courtyard and frameless glass provides uninterrupted views to the bay and surrounding landscape.
