Point Nepean House
Point Nepean House
Overlooking Port Phillip Bay, the Point Nepean House rests among the tea trees of the Australian coast. A Travertine facade integrates the residence into the site’s breakwater boulders. The rugged stone material can also hold up to the peninsula’s harsh climate. Sustainably-harvested teak screens add a warm complement to the exterior. When closed, they offer shelter from region’s intense winds and summer sun while framing in views of the bay when open. Upon entry, the home’s interior includes an atrium-style courtyard leading to a main living area that features expansive ocean vistas.
