5 Australian Coastal Homes That Embrace the Landscape
‘What was really important for us through the design process is that it's such a beautiful setting and with such an amazing outlook that the design needed to be quite quiet. And with that we could just limit ourselves to a very elemental set of materials but also to light and to space and to change in level, so there was letting the light and the space and the form of it do the work rather than relying on exuberant design moves’
– Antony Martin, MRTN Architects – Mt Eliza House
Australia’s coastline has long shaped the way we live, offering moments of reflection and a quieter understanding of our landscape and history. Each project rethinks coastal living for contemporary life, balancing privacy and openness, durability and warmth, retreat and connection. Together, these five homes reveal how coastal architecture, at its best, is less about escape and more about living attentively with place.
