Bower Architecture & Interiors: Blairgowrie Beach Club

This Bower Architecture & Interiors designed coastal home is situated in Blairgowrie on the Mornington Peninsula close to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
The Blairgowrie Beach Club is a unique Australian beach house, inspired by Swedish Functionalism, which captures the spirit of a local beach club.
Our clients, Fio and Katarina came to Bower seeking a comfortable and practical beach house on their site in Blairgowrie, where their well-loved small fibro beach shack stood. They had spent many summers in the house and along with the tennis court, the site had become a special place for their family, a focal point for their lives. With their two children now into adulthood, they sought a new house large enough to accommodate several families and friends, but with modest proportions to retain a feeling of warmth and intimacy, reminiscent of the original shack. The new house also needed to be highly adaptable so it wouldn’t feel too large when only Fio and Katarina were to stay there.
Bower Co-Directors Chema Bould and Anna Dutton Lourie discuss how the architecture and interior design responds directly to the coastal environment and Fio and Katarina's unique histories and dreams for their coastal life. Fio and Katarina talk about the client journey with Bower and how they love their home.
