'Miramar' | The Peninsula's Finest
Land Art by the Sea | Tucked into the undulating topography that typifies the Mornington Peninsula, where the land transitions from a tertiary dune system into grassy farmland, this architectural award winner is as much a home as an exquisite piece of sculptural land art.
Internationally acclaimed architects Wood Marsh redefine luxury lifestyle with extraordinary attention to detail. From the precisely orchestrated approach, up a gently winding driveway, to the gradual revelation of the spectacular sea views from the main living zone, every aspect of the design has been treated as an opportunity.
Discretely sited and barely visible from the street, the abstracted form of the house is defined by great arcs of textured, stone walls. Within, it marries the clarity of the modernist aesthetic with the functional versatility of a sprawling homestead, while exuding a contemporary luxury that is unrivalled in the area. It is scaled to embrace extended family and friends, yet balances the expansive living areas with subtly zoned private domains, all of which are enhanced by their connection to the natural landscape.
The plan is created by two boomerang-shaped forms connected with a short, glazed corridor. To its right and left, spine-like passages arc outwards, the first housing guest accommodation, a study, exercise room, laundry and garage; the second accommodating the central living and dining areas, a two-level master wing to one side and a three-bedroom family wing to the other.
The focal point of the home is the spectacular main living area, which easily incorporates multiple functions. Its outwardly curved, glazed wall and sweeping ceiling create a pull towards the landscape and breathtaking views of the sea. To one side of this voluminous space is a beautifully appointed kitchen and, adjacent to that, a dining area; to the other is a luxurious lounge and, in between, additional opportunities to congregate, rest and enjoy the view. It is a space so vast and versatile that it can as easily accommodate a lavish party as an intimate family gathering, without any compromise.
A concealed, rounded bar and sunken, mauve-hued secondary lounge are more private, luxurious spaces off the main living area, and a pale pink, mosaic-tiled powder room is equally elegant.
Behind these, a sweeping stair ascends to the master suite a zone of unparalleled comfort and amenity, comprising an ensuite, robes and spacious bedroom with views across the native landscaping.
The separate childrens wing, with three large bedrooms off a long sweeping corridor, offers similar luxury and amenity. Each room boasts fine finishes and framed vistas allowing constant connection to the land and location.
