BARWON DUNES HOUSE •
Set in Barwon Heads, Barwon Dunes House is a coastal family home by Eliza Blair Architecture, shaped by its relationship to light, landscape and the rugged coastal setting.
Designed as a forever home for a family of five, the architecture balances durability and warmth with a relaxed approach to everyday living. Curved forms respond to the site, while generous glazing, filtered light and open connections allow the landscape, garden and sky to become part of the interior experience.
Rammed earth walls, Australian hardwood, limestone and travertine create an earthy, tactile palette throughout, complemented by custom joinery and layered furnishings. At the centre of the home, a dramatic double-height living space and slender steel bridge create a sense of openness, connection and movement between levels.
A considered coastal home where materiality, natural light and family life come together with quiet confidence.
