We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging who have maintained Country for millennia.

The Blue House is one of three weekenders built within a ‘family compound’ on the Mornington Peninsula. The houses are set within a contiguous undulating landscape designed by Fiona Brockhoff. It is a garden haven. The spacious two-bedroom house surveys its garden landscape from the centre of the site. The orientation of the house is guided by the sweep of contours, and results in a stepping floorplane and singular raking roof. The plan is tripartite – an open central living space flanked by wings with more enclosed spaces and private rooms. External louvres enable the modulation of sunlight and privacy to these areas. Multi-coloured, they enliven the mute grey of the raw fibre cement sheet cladding. The interior of the house is entirely blue, with a timber floor and ceiling plane. The house is filled with an eclectic collection of furniture, furnishings, artwork, mementos and vernacular crafts, which imbues a relaxed, inviting atmosphere.
