Alexander Crescent

This coastal home sits in the 'old town' of Point Lonsdale, where timber-clad houses are set among tea trees. It follows the undulating site and reads as a sculpted contemporary form, with the garage partly tucked into an under-croft to reduce the three-storey scale.

A curved timber blade screen adds texture, gives bedrooms and living areas privacy, filters light and shades the north facade. The house wraps around a central courtyard, with large sliding glass doors opening to a sheltered outdoor entertaining area.

The owners use it as a simple weekend retreat that easily hosts extended family.
