A Coastal Holiday House by InForm

Located on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula (Australia), the Sorrento House is made up of a series of stepped pavilions that mimic the site’s uneven topography. Designed by InForm, the project was built as a vacation home on the coast, broken up into different spaces, making it perfect for invited guests.

The same brick on the exterior shows up inside creating continuity. Blue and yellow were also brought into the living space to brighten things up.
