Flinders coastal Victoria

Perched on a sweeping hill in Flinders coastal Victoria overlooking the rugged and often gusty ocean the “Flinders House” designed by Venn Architects employs sculptured contours of the roof which respond to the seaside weather conditions which seemingly sail over the landscape, while its low, horizontal profile minimise the statement it makes on the surrounds.
Internally the highlight of the house is the curved, timber-lined ceiling, which reflects the curve of the surrounding hills. The landscape is also referenced in the rammed earth wall which spans its length, giving natural simplicity, solidity and texture to an otherwise minimalist space. Throughout materials and fittings are natural & minimal, reflecting the tone of the landscape, with the occasional quirky touch, like door handles made from iron nails to hint at the rural setting.
The hero of this house is the landscape, the sea, the sky which surround it, which can be viewed from every room, every angle. It’s a place for a family to come together and celebrate. Australian Style that echoes Australian Life!
