Holiday House

Holiday House is not ostentatious.

It’s one of many sea-change and weekender homes on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, in a neighbourhood surrounded by coastal vegetation.

Eschewing the trend of ever-increasing house sizes, it’s a quiet place of interaction, intimacy and exploration. It has a low-slung, rather nondescript street presence.

The house has silvertop ash and shiplap cladding for the interior and exterior, which blends it sensitively with the outdoors.

A sculptural stone fireplace occupies the centre of the house and is its social heart. It’s an anchor point, and the house’s elongated gabled roof form hangs from it.
