defined by its refined palette of materials which have been to introduced to a sinuous and modest building, ‘sorrento house 1’ is a coastal architecture project located in melbourne by vibe design group.

the construction is characterized by a low-slung, angular roof constructed from 18m sheets of custom colorbond. the form is punctuated by a cast concrete chimney, while the timber battens rotate to become shuttering for the windows on the lower half. scandic and japanese influences run throughout the interior also by vibe design group. the synthesis of timber, cast concrete and steel is sensitive and assertive in equal measure. silken timber renders concrete textural and altogether, extend the proportions of the living spaces.

a monolithic kitchen defined by a sculptural assembly of intersecting rectangular forms

from the monolithic kitchen (a sculptural assembly of intersecting rectangular forms) through to the integrated fireplace and hearth. the private, restrained entry to the building is balanced by a more expansive rear elevation, complete with deck and swimming pool. the game of geometry is played out in the roof from this aspect, giving the house personality.
