Modscape designed and constructed a modular home nestled in the south-eastern corner of the picturesque Mornington Peninsula in Victoria.
This beachside home with coastal views is all about luxury and natural light.
The Somers home showcases the power of modular design and construction to deliver a contemporary residential solution that is not only inviting and accessible but also uncompromisingly luxurious.
The clients called on Modscape to design a knockdown rebuild project – a relaxing retreat they’d call home in the summer months.
They wanted a place to welcome family, especially their grandchildren.
This Modscape modular home is a study in spacious design, maximising the bayside views, and the sustainability benefits of passive heating and cooling.
Accessibility is a key feature of the entire design that includes a lift, extra-wide staircase, open bathrooms, and expansive hallways.
The lift and stairs lead you to an open-plan living space, bathed in natural sun and lighter tones; while the entertainment area and kitchen make use of minimalist finishes that perfectly complement the beachside aesthetic.
Decorated with lush green local flora, the front- and backyards connect to the inside of this modular beachside home via large entrances.
