Nestled on a hilltop with a stunning view of Whale Beach, this garden seamlessly integrates into its surroundings, appearing as though it naturally evolved from the earth. The landscape achieves harmony by blending new design elements with the existing natural environment, including a yoga deck, steel-lined pathways, and strategically placed sculptures. Addressing the challenges of the steep site, the plant selection, featuring Casuarina She-Oak, Gymea Lily, and Spiny Saltbush, aids in environmental sensitivity, stabilizing the hillside, and preventing erosion. Shaped clusters of Casuarina She-Oaks mimic the rocky terrain, echoing the architectural brilliance of the Peter Stutchbury-designed house. The meticulous integration of each element creates a tranquil retreat for clients and a sanctuary for local wildlife. Outcrop House by Pepo Botanic Design.

“Perched on a hill this small beach shack,  which has fabulous treetop views over Portsea and Sorrento,  underwent a dramatic transformation. An extensive renovation doubled the space with an additional level built underneath with pool deck area into the steep hill. It was important to keep the original elements of the house, such as the limestone walls and angled exposed beam ceiling. A minimal all white palette with custom furniture and select vintage pieces and objects create a calm and relaxed environment for the many visitors during summer months.”

A serene, summer-ready haven by Melbourne-based interior designer Rebecca Clark.

Nestled at the village’s northern edge, Thorpeness Beach House boasts a breathtaking location with panoramic views of the North Sea at sunrise and serene heath and woodland in the background. As an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it offers unparalleled tranquillity. Crafted for multiple generations of the same family, the house harmoniously integrates with its surroundings. Two sturdy masonry blocks house private areas, while a timber pavilion bridges them, capturing the essence of the landscape. The exterior palette mirrors the sandy hues, blending pale buff brickwork, weathered oak cladding, and brushed aluminium frames, ensuring a seamless connection with nature. The design balances privacy and openness, providing a perfect retreat. By IF_DO.

Studio Robert McKinley has done it again with another fabulous bungalow in their portfolio. If you dream of a relaxed beach getaway it’s for rent here.
