Arriving at Grounded House, visitors are initially confronted by a large, unadorned rammed earth wall, with simply a narrow aperture as a point of legibility which preserves the occupant's outlook from each, so as not to create feelings of disconnection, but to reinforce a oneness with the surrounds. .

Robin House - the 3rd in a series of 4 homes designed for @ongarello_ Robin House consciously moved away from the darker tones of Heron House and Wren House, whilst maintaining the core blockwork spine that all 4 homes share as a project anchor, ensuring a robustness in their beach house context. - Architecture: @wolveridge Photography: @timothykaye Construction: @ongarello_

Thrilled to receive confirmation that Grounded House has been shortlisted in the Australian Interior Design Awards for 2026. Looking forward to seeing how it goes! @auinteriordesignawards . A brief, shaped around family life, sits at the heart of the interior design, focusing on spaces that feel practical, durable, and closely connected to the landscape. Inside, the palette responds to the strength of the concrete and blockwork exterior with a sense of warmth and ease. Spotted gum brings a natural tactility that softens the structure and makes the spaces feel more grounded and comfortable. The result is a home that supports both shared moments and quiet retreat, all while staying closely connected to its surroundings. .

Whether at the trusty drawing board he has had for his entire career, or perched at the @madebymorgen breakout table, Jerry is never far from a roll of yellow trace. . Photography: @jackecarlin

The north-facing courtyard is the quiet heart of Fairhaven Frame House - as evidenced by the many lunches the team from Doherty Building Group shared here during construction. Anchored by an existing Stringybark tree, this sheltered space immediately grounds the building in its site. Here, occupants sit in sun and calm, protected from prevailing winds while enjoying framed views through the house toward the ocean beyond. .

Inside Grounded House, face blockwork reminds the occupant of the protective nature of the building’s rugged skin whilst providing an abundance of thermal mass. With burnished concrete floors and spotted gum joinery, together they create a tactile, robust and protective interior - less about curation and more about practicality. .

Fairhaven Frame House is a coastal home grounded in landscape and material honesty - the result of a close and enjoyable collaboration with Doherty Building Group, our clients, and a wonderful team of consultants and trades.    Robust in its construction yet warm and tactile within, it offers spaces of both shelter and outlook - a place where sun, wind and ocean remain constant companions in the rhythms of everyday life. .   Photography: @jackecarlin Architecture: @wolveridge Construction: @dohertybuildinggroup Landscape: @tnla_landscape_architects

Some instants at The Footy. The curved envelope begins to gather the home inward while remaining open to the bay. Inside, a lot of care went into shaping spaces that feel generous, calm and deeply connected to the landscape, prioritising comfort and everyday liveability.

The Footy progressing beautifully on site with @smith__builders - this crafted envelope tempers the coastal conditions, encouraging the strong south-westerlies to slip past its curvature and creating calm, recessed zones for indoor and outdoor living. .
