Year 2017 State Victoria Photographer Emily Bartlett Builder Smith Builders In collaboration with Smith Builders, Light Residence is situated in Sorrento on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula within walking distance of Sorrento Village and both ocean and bay beaches. This organically rich coastal award-winning home was designed and built as a speculative development. The home’s layout needed to be flexible to allow for various occupancy scenarios. The site, which is situated below road level, created an aesthetic challenge for the design. Rammed Earth, recycled timber, Blackbutt and Matrix cladding create a striking organic and low maintenance exterior whilst rammed earth, timber flooring, extensive timber battens, timber veneer and 2 pack cabinetry, woollen carpet and high-quality porcelain tiles create a warm and welcoming interior. An extensive deep verandah along the north/ west elevation provides welcome shade in the Summer months and allows an abundance of sunlight into the home in the Winter months.

“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.”
