Victoria Mornington Peninsula House
Victoria Mornington Peninsula House
Perched above the beach on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, this refined new house is immersed in its wild coastal setting, offering its owners a calming refuge from city life.
This house is named ‘Always’, a reference to the statement “Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.” The design approach delivers several important things for its appreciative owner, and the Kennedy Nolan team has made good on some clearly articulated, shared aspirations to get to a satisfying result.
Shortlisted in the 2022 Victorian Architecture Awards in the interior architecture category, Kennedy Nolan’s latest project, ‘Always’, interrogates what it is to be Australian and ‘What is country?’ and ‘What country are we on?’.
The brief required an unmediated experience of the spectacular coastal landscape but also a calm and peace-filled refuge.
The design elements in the project have been selected to build an overall sense of quietude and a visual relationship to the natural world.
