PORTSEA
By Barber Design
Location: Point Nepean Road, Portsea
Client: Private
Scope: Landscape Design, Pavillion, Pool
Architect: Bayley Ward
Completed: 2018
For this cliff-top property in Portsea, we collaborated with Bayley Ward Architects to create an open northern terrace with infinity pool to embrace the open views of Port Philip Bay. On the southern side of the dwelling, we removed the tennis court to create a contemporary pavilion (Fig. 06), implementing an asymmetrical grid punctuated with 50-year-old olive trees sourced from central Queensland.
On this stunning project, Barber designed the pool, built form adjoining the home, landscape structures, positioned and proportioned the pavilion as well as the softscape.

Barber’s spaces are characterised by a commitment to provenance, proportion and cohesion, where architecture and landscaping are a seamless and symbiotic expression. By listening and learning deeply, to both the site and the client, Barber creates intuitive and connective spaces, that balance rigour with joy and evolve naturally rather than forcefully.
