Great Ocean Road Residence is a home built for the future. The brief was to create a home-away-from-home for a growing family which would serve for generations. Sited on a unique clifftop along the Victorian coastline, the residence was designed to embrace its dramatic surrounds and withstand its harsh marine environment, through practical ingenuity and a timeless aesthetic quality. The land is within a conservation precinct, bordering a national park, and visible from several coastal look-out points. This residence heralds a new chapter for the future of intelligent Australian coastal design.
