Barwon Heads III banner

This Barwon Heads dwelling by the River required a demolish of an existing garage and associated wet areas and storage, for the construction of a new garage with guest accommodation. It is intended as an integral part of the property and its dwelling.

The simple forms incorporate a floating flat roof plane to reduce the impact of its height and form a clerestory similar to that of the existing dwelling. The pergola is set as a continuous plane floating out from the main building mass to reduce the scale of the form and align with the deep eaves of the existing dwelling.

About the

Stonehouse + Irons Architecture is a client focused architecture studio delivering innovative residential and community designs in coastal and regional Victoria.

Stonehouse + Irons Architecture, previously Iron’s McDuff Architecture, has a reputation for delivering innovative, well formed, inclusive spaces that sit harmoniously within their environment.  Each project is seen as an opportunity to craft buildings that connect people to place.  Focusing on high quality residential and community projects, we guide our clients through all stages of the journey from concept design to project completion.  By working closely with our clients we are able to gain a thorough understating of their vision.  It is through this collaborative approach that the richness of our work emerges.

As an environmentally conscious studio with a strong focus on sustainability, we believe every project should encourage a reduced carbon footprint and contribute to the regeneration of our environment. Our expert designs are carefully considered from the interior palette to how the exterior engages with its surroundings.

Our studios are situated in Point Lonsdale and Barwon Heads on the Bellarine Peninsula providing us with a deep understanding of the coastal elements, climate, landscape and lifestyle, all of which help to shape and influence our design solutions.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
