French Island Project banner

Architect designed by Lai Chong Brown, the brief of this project was to build a new farmhouse on rugged French Island in the middle of Victoria’s Westernport Bay.

The project was confronted with a range of challenges, including no power, water or other services to the site; no sealed roads on the island, and access only by passenger ferry or charter barge service. The site is also particularly windswept and faces out to Bass Strait across Phillip Island.

Live the dream, naturally
We believe that modern luxury is living in comfort without compromising the natural environment.

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.
