The Inlet House is situated near the famed Great Ocean Road, at the mouth of the Painkalac Creek where it flows into Bass Strait. While the house enjoys expansive ocean views to the south, the home feels anything but exposed.
The layout of the home is centered around an internal stone paved “Street”, linking the two living and sleeping wings. A pair of gracefully curving skillion roofs define the north and south wings of the home, uplifted at the ends allowing morning and evening light to wash gently across the ceilings.
Each room in this home reveals a unique aspect. The Kitchen – Living room enjoys expansive estuary and coastal views, while the north facing bedrooms frame a private sundrenched garden.
The site and surrounding vegetation is intrinsic to the design of this house with pre-weathered grey timber boards enveloping the house inside and out, allowing the home to blend beautifully into its surrounds.
With foliage spilling from cantilevered planter boxes and a wire framed arbor on the street side, over time a sea of vines over the arbor will transform the public side of the house into something even more beautiful and discrete.
