Sorrento modernises a mid-1970s lakeside home on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, transforming the 315 sqm single-story dwelling into an inviting retreat for three generations. Configured for daily living and family gatherings, the design balances warmth with subtle coastal touches.

Ocean Blue travertine floors evoke the nearby water, while lime-washed plaster walls carry soft sand tones. Shiplap cabinetry and refined hardware introduce understated coastal cues, complemented by vintage Murano wall lights. The kitchen forms the centrepiece with its expansive island and butler’s pantry. Hidden storage runs throughout, from reading nooks and custom children’s bunks to integrated walk-in wardrobes, turning utilitarian elements into subtle design moments. Linen, blond timber and layered warm and cool tones complete a lived-in home that adapts to guests and occasions with ease.
