A stunning detached house on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia, designed by architecture and interior Design studio Carr Design. The clean and precise lines of Peninsula House are almost the opposite of the rural setting, clearly integrated with the site, creating an exquisite serenity. Carr Design has proposed a bold holistic reinterpretation of the modern farmhouse through a deliberately contemporary perspective, making the house both inward and outward to attract the landscape.

In its heightened position, a sense of calmness is felt from every corner of the internal lived experience, where the architectural response and its engagement with the terrain play a large part in that intended tranquillity. As an embracing destination, the home is a place of respite and rest, and the deliberate restraint aids in reinforcing the spaces as an opportunity to reset. Utilising monolithic gestures and bold, generous sweeping volumes, the resulting home is comprised of clean lines and a well curated approach. Carr reinterprets the traditional farmhouse through a crisp contemporary lens, bringing a knowing elevation of experience through spatial and material engagement.

Peninsula House offers itself as a private and protective home for its owners, while beautifully engaging with its unique site. Carr’s reinterpretation of the farmhouse as a modern and refined home of considered and curated proportions ensures the resulting pavilion will continue to endure, remain relevant and respectfully engage with its incredible surrounding setting.
