Boatbuilders House, Williamstown – Victoria Property

The Boatbuilders House project is a loving restoration of a heritage house, originally built for the local Blunt Boatbuilders family. The alterations included a new 2 storey contemporary living room and parent retreat to the rear of the property to provide a privacy barrier to neighbouring properties and highly desired Northern orientation. The new and old sections of the house circle around a central courtyard and plunge pool that provides a centrepiece for modern family living.

The house was designed around an active family – an outdoor shower and mud room and kayak store for returning from the Bay. A heated plunge pool for year-round enjoyment. Internal spaces that open up and shut down, dependant on use – that all connect the family back to the central courtyard.

Warm, elegant, durable materials and finishes are used internally and externally. External timber cladding is coated with a finish that allows it to weather evenly, white bricks and travertine paving that patinas over time will ensure a home that only looks better with age. Internal finishes are kept simple, elegant and pure – timber, stone and polished concrete.
