Nestled into the surrounding landscape, this award winning home, Banksia Residence, on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula is a fusion of mid-century modern design and contemporary coastal living, built to an exceptional standard.

With clean lines the exterior neutral palette of Australian hardwood timber, bricks and block cladding is complemented by Rylock high performance windows and doors in Colorbond™ Monument powder coat finish. A Bushfire Attack Level (BAL-12.5) rating was also considered when specifying the site’s custom product solutions.

The generously proportioned entry features a hinged door (frame only option), fitted with a large timber door for bold visual effect. Flanked by large fixed lites and a double glazed butt joint window, the entry hints to the quality and attention to detail that extends beyond.

With expansive site lines from the entry, the soaring 4.3-metre high timber-lined v-joint ceiling leads the eye to the resort style entertaining and swimming pool.  The open plan living, dining and kitchen are flooded with natural light to the northwest elevation through a series of louvre and fixed lite windows. Louvre windows deliver maximum ventilation and promote cool sea breezes, ideal in a temperate coastal environment.

2.7-metre high Commercial Series stacker doors in the living, rumpus and master bedroom feature a rebated sill for a zero-threshold ease of passage between the interiors and lush outdoor landscape. The master bedroom offers tranquility in a private retreat that is enveloped by the surrounding landscape.

The ensuite, bathroom and bedrooms feature Commercial Series awning windows of varied, custom configurations, where the sash is often positioned either above or below sightlines to reduce the visual obstruction of the surrounding landscape.

The window vertical mullions in the living and dining are a bold architectural feature. This superior result was achieved in close consultation with Rylock to ensure the highlight windows’ mullions matched those of the louvre and fixed lite windows below, for maximum visual impact.
