Sorrento House 01 is a meticulously designed single-storey luxury dwelling, crafted to suit the lifestyle of downsizers or a modern family seeking a seamless blend of comfort and coastal elegance. Nestled within the natural landscape of the Mornington Peninsula, the home embodies a refined yet relaxed aesthetic, where contemporary architecture meets the tranquility of its coastal setting. Thoughtfully planned to embrace the region’s natural beauty, the design prioritizes light, ventilation, and a strong indoor-outdoor connection.
At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen and living areas extend effortlessly onto a covered alfresco space, creating an ideal environment for entertaining and relaxation. This seamless transition is enhanced by a resort-style pool, reinforcing the home’s connection to its natural surroundings. South-facing courtyards punctuate the design, introducing pockets of greenery while allowing natural light to filter deep into the interior spaces, ensuring a bright and airy atmosphere throughout the day.
A defining feature of Sorrento House 01 is its strategic use of skylights, which enhance both the ambiance and functionality of the home. A striking circular skylight at the entrance creates a luminous passageway, casting dynamic patterns of light while framing curated views of the garden. Additional skylights are incorporated into the bathrooms, inviting natural daylight and ventilation into these private sanctuaries, further promoting a sense of serenity.
Materiality plays a pivotal role in establishing the home’s warm and calming aesthetic. A carefully curated palette of natural materials—timber, stone, and concrete—complies with local council regulations while reinforcing a deep connection to the coastal landscape. These elements, combined with a restrained color palette, create an atmosphere of understated luxury, where every detail contributes to a tranquil and inviting retreat. Sorrento House 01 is a testament to thoughtful design, offering a harmonious balance between contemporary living and the timeless beauty of its coastal surroundings.
Questions and Answers
What was the initial vision for Sorrento House 01, and how did the location on the Mornington Peninsula influence the design and development of the project?
The initial vision for Sorrento House 01 was to create a contemporary yet contextually sensitive home that harmonized with its natural surroundings on the Mornington Peninsula. The design aimed to embrace the coastal landscape while adhering to local council regulations, ensuring that the structure complemented the area’s environmental and aesthetic guidelines.
The location on the Mornington Peninsula significantly influenced the project’s development, particularly in material selection and architectural form. The home needed to withstand coastal conditions while blending seamlessly with the region’s characteristic textures and tones. As a result, the material palette was carefully curated to comply with council regulations, incorporating natural and durable elements such as timber, stone, and concrete. These materials not only met compliance requirements but also reinforced the home’s connection to the rugged coastal environment, creating a residence that felt both modern and inherently tied to its setting.
What were some of the unique challenges faced during the design and construction of Sorrento House 01, and how were they overcome?
The site is part of a subdivision and is primarily located facing south. This meant we needed to carefully consider the placement of skylights and southern courtyards to bring light deep into the house, and ensure all rooms were well lit and naturally ventilated.
