A double fronted weatherboard cottage conceals a generous, north facing outdoor living zone to the rear. The wide hallway was terminated by a bathroom and made no connection to the rear of the property.  A long pergola takes on the hallway dimension and invites the observer towards a filtered termination at the end of the garden. This element binds together new and old and provides a legible transition from outside to inside.  The main bedroom is anonymous to the visitor with a concealed door and utilises a hidden side setback for a private outlook.

About the
Professional

Stonehouse + Irons Architecture is a client focused architecture studio delivering innovative residential and community designs in coastal and regional Victoria.

Stonehouse + Irons Architecture, previously Iron’s McDuff Architecture, has a reputation for delivering innovative, well formed, inclusive spaces that sit harmoniously within their environment.  Each project is seen as an opportunity to craft buildings that connect people to place.  Focusing on high quality residential and community projects, we guide our clients through all stages of the journey from concept design to project completion.  By working closely with our clients we are able to gain a thorough understating of their vision.  It is through this collaborative approach that the richness of our work emerges.

As an environmentally conscious studio with a strong focus on sustainability, we believe every project should encourage a reduced carbon footprint and contribute to the regeneration of our environment. Our expert designs are carefully considered from the interior palette to how the exterior engages with its surroundings.

Our studios are situated in Point Lonsdale and Barwon Heads on the Bellarine Peninsula providing us with a deep understanding of the coastal elements, climate, landscape and lifestyle, all of which help to shape and influence our design solutions.
