Mornington Peninsula House is a residential project in Melbourne that has been transformed and extended by local design Studio Esteta to give new life to an existing home.
The new design opens up and reconnects the interior experience of the house, giving the modern feel a real connection with the site. In this natural and green-filled environment, the house becomes an absorber of its surroundings. Esteta studio also uses a refined approach to connect the home to its past, people and place.
With a master bedroom suite at one end and a children's room at the other, the centre of the house is a light-filled open-plan gathering space with extensive glazing and views over the surrounding 39 hectares. A pitched ceiling is uncovered to absorb light and magnify it from the rich Windows.
The kitchen is at the heart of the revival of the house, located in the centre of the house, facing the family living space, and the landscape beyond, defined by form and materials. The low ceiling height and cohesive blotchy treatment create intimacy, while the polished marble countertop hints at time snuggled here with family and friends.
