Barwon Heads IV banner

An affordable house developed for a final land release in coastal Barwon Heads. Just 100 metres from the Barwon River, Riverwalk house is a series of gabled forms, creating a spacious home in a small footprint, maximising a central garden and open space for active boys.  The project encapsulates two different building pavilions with a glass link connection. The full height windows and high pitched roof generate an enormous amount of sunlight, and creates a wonderfully liveable home that allows the client to work and live from.  The house achieves an energy rating of 6.5 stars, as it is a small house achieving efficiency in construction and materials as well as reducing excessive operational energy requirement,  carefully located double glazed windows throughout, allow generous light and winter sun, while maintaining protection from the heat of the summer sun.

About the
Professional

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.
