Eastern View Beach House (Vision)
Great Ocean Road, Surf Coast, Victoria
Wadawurrung Land
Perched above the iconic Gateway on the Great Ocean Road, this residence reimagines an existing timber beach shack as a contemplative coastal retreat. The home embraces uninterrupted ocean views and sits lightly within its natural landscape.
A walkway through native shrubbery connects board storage, an outdoor shower, and a sauna, leading to a glass room that opens fully to the elements. Diffuse southern light fills the space, and visitors are immersed in the surrounding birdlife.
Robust, refined, and understated, the design responds sensitively to the site’s cultural overlay, bushfire risk, and secluded coastal context, creating a retreat that is both humbling and invigorating.
