Upcycled House / Freehand Projects

The original house was built in the early 1980s by a local builder and architectural draftsman who took inspiration from the casual modernism of the time made popular by practices such as Merchant Builders and Fasham Johnson. Often built as low-maintenance family beach houses, many similar homes are dotted around the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast as the area expanded in the 1970’s and 80’s. As the region now undergoes another round of expansion and development, many are being replaced by larger luxury homes and townhouses.
