Lialeeta House in Fairhaven, Victoria Surf Coast, AU

Lialeeta is a striking residential dwelling with sweeping views of Victoria’s Surf Coast clad in steel and timber.

The facade of the property is wrapped in UniCote steel cladding and presents a striking perspective from both the street and above.

The dwelling comprises two levels, entry is from the ground floor which houses an open plan kitchen, meals and living, master bedroom with ensuite and walk in robe, a second bedroom and bathroom. The lower level comprises a third bedroom, mud room, laundry, bathroom and a versatile den or 4th bedroom.

The ground level opens to an extensive deck with incredible views of Victoria’s Surf Coast.

Internally there is considerable use of striking materials such as timber, stone polished concrete. Timber cladding lines the walls and ceiling and feature stone has been used in the living and staircase.

Pops of deep green have been used in the kitchen and bathroom to introduce colour while still complementing the earthy and natural palette used throughout.

The master bedroom has an outlook down the Great Ocean Road and over the Surf Coast.

The landscape has been established using native and grassy plants which will envelope the surrounds of the property and complement the coastal location and conditions.
