Inside a Remote and Hidden Coastal Home with Breathtaking Views of the Ocean (House Tour)
Ойын-сауық
Nestled into the landscape of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula and overlooking the ocean, Peninsula House by Carr is a hidden coastal home that inspires a sense of awe and immersion, all thanks to the encompassing landscape. Peninsula House has a dual purpose: to serve as a space for showcasing the client’s art collection and to become a home that would be both cosy for two occupants and able to welcome visiting guests and family with ease.
Considering the placement of the hidden coastal home, with the site exposed to the challenging weather patterns of the Bass Strait, the architecture and intimate interior design were significantly influenced by the prevailing climate conditions. “We wanted to create cosy spaces that feel protected so inhabitants could retreat,” says Lucy Cuthbertson, Associate at Carr and project architect for Peninsula House. To shield itself from powerful winds, the house nestles into the landscape, strategically incorporating outdoor spaces positioned to receive protection from the elements.
Access to the hidden coastal home is through an undulating carriageway, guiding visitors to a picturesque courtyard. Continuing through a long hallway, one encounters a glass wall that frames breathtaking views of the natural surrounds. Peninsula House features a central spine that serves as an art gallery and a formal axis for the house. The public entry is through the art gallery, and this dual access is important for maintaining privacy and facilitating movement.
The floor plan embraces the expansion and compression of spaces, as zones can be closed off or opened as needed, achieving a balance between a cosy atmosphere and maintaining the overall scale of the building. Pocket doors, embellished with finely detailed hardware, and a simplified palette are extensively employed throughout, enabling the structure to seamlessly transition between open and closed arrangements. Likewise, the interior design is simple and robust, with furniture and décor showcasing a neutral and minimalist palette that allows the artwork to take centrestage.
The materiality of the home is durable and mirrors the surrounding landscape in which the hidden coastal home is situated. Sue Carr, the Founding Principal at Carr, says, “We worked hard to find something that had a rural feel rather than a city feel.” Lucy agrees that the home “is a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional farmhouse architecture in its scale [and] in its materiality as well.” The metal roof is reminiscent of a classic gabled farmhouse, and the use of robust materials reflects the rural Flinders landscape, contributing to a warm and serene feeling. The final outcome is a home that thoughtfully responds to the wild, ever-changing surroundings.

Don't call this stuff great. All of these designs are terrible, hideous things that should never be considered good.
Whoever designed the landscaped gardens did an amazing job.
I can imagine what it must look like with a storm rolling in over the ocean - beautiful architecture 👏
i watch this particular video of the house in a hot tub and really inspiring me to the point i am now working on an art project
A home connected to nature enhances the overall quality of life. 💖💖

Couldn't agree more!
The perfect synergy of landscape, building and wonderfully fun artwork.
Excellent! Monochromatic scheme. Just my style. This is what you get when you hire an really great architect...living in a piece of artwork! Who is the artist that created the ball with the faces? Just love it.
Again you have found another very interesting and livable home. I would love to experience a stormy day and night in this home. Hats off to the architect.
The architects are at the top of their game. Stunning build ❤

It looks hideous. Why are you people so uneducated
Best house I've seen all year. Maybe ever. And as a surfer...the location is exceptional.
Incredible. What a cleaver, Big Idea where the result is both spacious and intimate. A beautifully crafted modern dwelling-meets-gallery. Hello from Cape Town :)
The house looked very spacious in width length and height, especially in the hallways, perfect for displaying artwork. I liked the way the internal sliding doors were incorporated so you could shut off different parts. The landscaping really helped also to blend with the natural surroundings and the views from the house were spectacular.
I love hearing the architects’ and designers’ points of view and what they were trying to achieve with the project, but I would also like to actually see more of the house, and maybe even a layout. Thanks for your beautiful videos and sharing these beautiful homes with us.
Wow ❤
It's absolutely beautiful how art and architecture come together in a project like this
wow those plants ❤❤❤
stuh ning! love the lenthy corridor and stretch of the house, the courtyard and landscaping is equisite!!
This house looks awesome!
Thank you
Stunning home!
❤️ beautiful
That’s really nice
Wow❤❤❤ love this one
Totally agree - please show us the house otherwise not much point!!
Beautiful, peaceful, and serene.
What a stunning piece of art loved everything about this home most beautiful yet on this channel❤
The amount of agricultural and natural surface that is now artificial, is insane, for a holiday home
Nice lines coming together for a contemporary finish. Really well executed.
Amazing. Alot of hallways, no stairs, well spaced, not claustro. I love it.
Stunning architecture, a place I'd love to live in. And an amazing art collection.

Your dream home is a storage building?
How can I get audio sound tracks like the ones used in the videos?
Nice looking golf club house, assume the first tee is out front. How this is connected to nature landscape coast geological I dont know.
❤❤❤
💖👏
Dull rich ppl that the algorithm inflicted on me
🥰🥰🥰
Hm 😮
The place💚
I wish with these clips you actually had a proper tour of the home.
Don’t get the ‘cosy’ bit in the opening statements. Formal spaces and volumes very much like a gallery, not homely.
Надзвичайно гармонійно
Is this a home or a commercial space like an art gallery ? I dont ask from a positive sense, sorry.

It is beautiful. But a little too dark. Maybe they were after the dark and moody feel

I actually enjoy that perspective to be honest😊
All eight houses in my street fit in this ‘farmhouse’. How many people live in this house? Two? And how much energy is needed to cool/heat this building, so two people can live comfortably in it. Don’t get me wrong, it is a beautiful building, but not a house. It is a form of showing off, like in the middle ages when nobility built castles to impress the enemy but were a menace to live in.
Ghastly artwork
Lose the "this video is brought to you by TIN" intro
Why this house has a genocidal symbol at the front yard?
Another hideous looking house.
