Point Lonsdale I banner

Point Lonsdale I is a site-responsive, contemporary home for a mature couple to enjoy into their retirement. The project has a small footprint with spatial generosity and a connection to the garden. Subtle design elements have been included to accommodate the owners such as integrated grab rails as towel rails, single level dwelling, generous passageway and bedrooms and potential future carer accommodation.  The dynamic gable forms are inspired by the local context of former boathouses, using cambered trusses to create high ceilings while maintaining a low form below the coastal vegetation of the area.

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.
