Shortlist: House Alteration and Addition under 200 square metres

Figureground Architecture for Sorrento House

Photography: Derek Swalwell

This project required the renovation of a 1980s beach house on the Mornington Peninsula. Eschewing the ‘box on the back’ approach, a series of considered interventions have stitched together old and new. The original ‘split-face’ block base is kept and additional spaces are grafted on within an enveloping timber skin.
