Mt Duneed House in Victoria
Low Maintenance Australian Residence: Home Extension design by Lachlan Shepherd Architects

Mt Duneed House Extension
Architects: Lachlan Shepherd Architects
Location: Mt Duneed, Victoria, Australia
Mt Duneed House
An honest, low-slung building, which sits sympathetically with its surroundings. Simply clad with corten steel and recycled timber, the home is positioned on the crest of a gentle hill and surrounded by paddocks with scattered trees.
Mount Duneed is a suburb of Geelong, Victoria. It is divided between the City of Greater Geelong and Surf Coast Shire local government areas.
Much of the locality north of Lower Duneed Road is part of the large Armstrong Creek Growth Area, which was opened up for urban development from 2010.
Northern orientation allows winter sunlight and warmth to penetrate through a series of large operable glazed panels, whilst in summer, large fixed eaves keep the hot summer sun at bay. The house has been designed to be practically “indestructible” in accordance with client requirements – resulting in an easy cleaning, low maintenance, robust dwelling.

South Coast NSW Property
A robust yet finely articulated home arranged as a collection of positive and negative spaces, opens up completely to its immediate landscape, or shuts down as the coastal weather turns. A simple planning arrangement provides a large home with an efficient program, and light and ventilation apertures follow the linear functionality of the home.

The building sits between two smaller residential buildings designed by different architects. All three share a common basement carpark. Height, setbacks and building footprint were strongly defined by the Development Control Plans for the Precinct and the brief for the Design Excellence Competition.
