Rip View Close

Location: Wadawurrung Country (Torquay Hinterland)

Category: Residential - Rural

Year Completed: 2023

Project Description:

This bushland location with the addition of an outdoor living pavilion and pool takes advantage of the unimpeded views across the landscape.

The slope leading up to the house has been broken up into terraces providing level living spaces around the pool with varying degrees of formality. The design has been thoughtfully executed to minimize visual obstructions and fencing while creating different activation points; an outdoor dining terrace, a lush lawn, and a gravel fire pit. The use of timber cladding and textured stone paving creates a harmonious link between the outdoor living spaces and the warm facade of the house, with indigenous and native coastal species to ground the landscape into its environs.
