Rye Beach House

This custom home on the Mornington Peninsula has been designed around core values of sustainability, energy efficiency, and lifestyle. With a focus on passive solar design, the house minimises energy use during construction and ensures low running costs for everyday living.

Created for a couple approaching retirement, the design delivers a home that feels like a permanent holiday retreat. Generous northern orientation captures natural sunlight, while expansive glazing to the south frames stunning views over the rolling hills.

Durable, low-maintenance materials have been carefully selected to balance thermal performance, aesthetics, and long-term resilience, ensuring the home remains comfortable and efficient for decades to come.

This project is an exciting example of how thoughtful design can provide both sustainable living and a relaxed coastal lifestyle.
