Mount Martha House is a cost-effective timber family home inspired by the vernacular of the Mornington Peninsula; a contemporary interpretation of Australian coastal architecture. Its L-shaped layout embraces an established pin oak tree, creating a private outdoor space with a pool and deck that integrates with the natural surroundings.

Mount Martha House is grounded in a conceptual framework that prioritises simplicity, and a strong connection to its coastal environment. The design philosophy embraces the beauty of natural and readily-available building materials and thoughtful detailing to create a home that is both functional and timeless. The modular grid underpins the entire design, ensuring that elements align seamlessly, contributing to a sense of order and visual harmony throughout the residence.
