This stunning Mornington Peninsula (Australia) home, makes my heart beat faster! It has been designed by Melbourne-based architecture practice Kennedy Nolan. The brief was for a weekender and summer house which would ultimately become a more permanent place of residence. It had to be a house with low energy requirements, comfortable in both summer and winter, able to host guests in a relaxed and easy way, provide multiple places to be depending on the location of the sun and prevailing winds and be a house in balance with both a cultivated garden and a wider landscape. The use of earthy colours and natural material gives a sense of warmth to the house while the various First National art works serve as eye catchers.
