On the sand dunes of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, a modest fibro shack has evolved into a stylish mid-century haven that seamlessly blends coastal vibes with luxurious comfort, thanks to Melbourne-based architectural firm Hindley & Co.
A downstairs guest bedroom with garden views.
The main bedroom's built-in bedhead and side tables are a nod to mid-century design.
American oak flooring frames the inset wool carpets.
The open plan kitchen, dining and living room is cleverly zoned with Italian travertine limestone tiles.
The bathrooms combine timber, terrazzo floor tiles, limestone and marble, bringing interest at every turn.

The main bedroom is a coastal oasis.
The large patio wraps the house, offering views of the dunes.
