Project

Bellbrae Coastal

Nestled in the rural hinterland of Victoria’s Surf Coast, Bellbrae Coastal captures the essence of its forested coastal location.

This project exemplifies the successful transformation of a 1940s house into a modern rural retreat, perfectly suited for family life and guest accommodation. The design focuses on respecting the home's character while creating functional and inviting spaces that resonate with the rural setting.

The project prioritised retaining the existing footprint and incorporating original elements. Judicious removal and addition of internal walls increases the functionality, amenity and overall atmosphere of the interior spaces
