Heron House was conceived as part of a larger landscaped masterplan precinct development a few minutes’ walk to Mt. Martha beach.

In an ode to the Mt. Martha beach house tradition, the skin and bones have been carefully selected with the robust masonry offsetting the weatherboard cladding building vernacular of the local area.

The floorplan is arranged around a central garden courtyard which provides an outdoor retreat with a sense of refuge and privacy. With seasonal living in mind, the garden courtyard with its mounded informal soft landscaping is connected to the house via a light filled dual aspect living, kitchen and meals open plan area.

“I cannot recommend Wolveridge Architects highly enough. Fully alive to the brief from the outset, Jerry worked collaboratively to present us with ideas that took us way beyond our original imaginings. Working within the tight constraints of both limited space and a heritage protected house, Jerry delivered a seamless melding of both old and new that magically accentuates the best of both. The overall design is masterful. The in situ concrete table is, quite simply, incredible and a genius response to our very first discussion. The small details - a floating concrete step; an exposed, internal section of nineteenth century brickwork (to name but two of many) are testament to the considered and inspired thinking. The project was managed brilliantly by Brett and the rest of the team and executed with minimal fuss and to the highest standards. Every question and concern was responded to thoughtfully and with an eye on the budget. The result is stunning. it is a beautiful space to live in. It is a beautiful home.”
