Wildcoast House

Set amongst the undulating sand dunes and dense moonah trees on the ocean side of the Mornington Peninsula, the Wildcoast House is rooted in its environment. The home is composed of three curving walls which provide a private retreat from the coastal environment.

A curved gravel driveway weaves through landscaped mounds of native vegetation, guiding visitors toward an abstract façade. A monolithic rendered brick wall is punctured by an organic archway that lifts gently from the native planting nestled at its base. This motif teases a glimpse of the home whilst establishing a sense of arrival that is both grounded and enigmatic.

The home’s three defining blade walls are carefully set out to protect from harsh coastal winds and curate views to the surrounding landscape and rugged national park beyond. This tripartite configuration allows family-zones to operate independently while the guest wing provides flexibility for multigenerational use.

The off-white render sits over heavily textured brickwork constructed using irregular D grade recycled bricks, referencing the sandstone-cliffs just beyond the parkland. Greyed timber cladding and curved walls throughout echo the grey twisting trunks of the Moonah trees.

The built form follows the site’s natural contours, leaning into the neighbouring parkland where curated native gardens bleed into the wild bushland beyond. Wildcoast House is a study in rugged elegance — three intertwined pavilions that settle into the site with quiet composure, offering a place of retreat, connection, and enduring coastal living.
