This coastal home designed by InForm maximises its superb position, sitting on the hillside overlooking Port Phillip Bay. The design concept is based on a simple composition, including a central entry hall that separates the large single storey garage wing from the main two storey residence. Upon entry, the impact of the spectacular bay view is suspended until arriving at the open plan living area, that flows out to the terrace, pool and garden, just above the beach.
