Blairgowrie Beach House

The Blairgowrie Beach House on the Mornington Peninsula retained a small proportion of the rear of the existing building and expanded forward on a steeply sloped site to accommodate additional living and sleeping areas.

The external materials of the Blairgowrie Beach House have been selected to pick up on some of the colours from the natural landscape. Part of the existing residential dwelling is being re-clad in silver top ash vertical timber shiplap cladding which will be left to naturally grey off. The new additions are finished in custom folded dark metal zinc cladding with a featured vertical standing seam at the panel joins, and the base of the building is finished with a light grey concrete render over concrete blockwork walls.
