The Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation
Victoria
Set amongst the undulating sand dunes and dense moonah trees on the ocean side of the Mornington Peninsula, Wildcoast House is rooted in its environment. Built on Bunurong Country, the home is composed of three curving walls which provide a private retreat from the coastal environment. The home’s three defining blade walls are carefully set out to protect from harsh coastal winds and curate views to the surrounding landscape and rugged national park beyond. Each blade bounds a separate wing and converges to form the central circulation. The off-white render sits over heavily textured brickwork constructed using irregular D grade recycled bricks, referencing the sandstone-cliffs just beyond the parkland. Wildcoast House is a study in rugged elegance – three intertwined pavilions grounded by a reductive material palette that accentuates its sculptural form in the shifting coastal light.
