Long Island

Nestled in the heart of the sand dunes in the prestigious Long Island area of Frankston, a distinctive and luxurious home was mandatory to augment this unique location.

As local Quarry owners, the clients had a long term interest in utilising a unique material for their construction, and rammed earth was a natural choice for them.

When it came to choosing a builder, Doug Law was also a natural choice – having built the clients last home some 12 years ago, Doug was delighted when he was approached to build for them again. 

The clients had firm ideas about the fixtures and finishes required in their home, and Doug and the client consulted extensively to ensure that all the proposed inclusions were going to result in the desired outcome.

The rammed earth walls, polished concrete floors downstairs and feature grade solid timber Wormy Chestnut flooring upstairs provide a luxurious, yet slightly rustic ambiance which harmoniously blends with the sand dunes, beach and panoramic views enjoyed by this property. 

Large outdoor living areas on both levels allow the owners to fully embrace the coastal aspects of their property, whilst the internal luxury of the home is both sumptuous and highly functional.

I would not hesitate to recommend Farmhouses of Australia to design and build your dream home. I would certainly choose them again!
