Set across three levels that follow the natural topography, and enveloped by established eucalypts, this home enjoys uninterrupted ocean views and sunshine from its northern aspect overlooking Louttit Bay.

Care was taken to retain and restore key elements of the original beach house, with an upper-level addition providing space and amenity to support a growing multi-generational family.

Sustainably sourced blackbutt timber has been applied both internally and externally, allowing the home to recede into its stunning coastal setting.

We are delighted with Josh Crosbie’s design of our house in Lorne. It was a significant rebuild of our 80’s built house and we asked him to keep some of feeling of the old house but add a storey and extend the ground floor living area. The result was way beyond our expectations and we get admiring comments from many passers by. Josh brings a creative flair and a wonderful enthusiasm for his projects. He and his team were also really good to work with. - Larry
