Architecture Design of Somers Modular Home

Description About The Project

Somers Modular Home designed by by Modscape is a stunning house which showcase an innovative and calculated modular design, and is an exercise in luxury and light. Located in the South – East of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, the project centred around the knockdown of an existing dwelling on the block. Indeed, Modscape tasked with creating a retreat to be utilized by the client’s and their family in the warmer months of the year.

Responding to the client’s brief, the proposed design is open, light – filled and incorporates durable, low-maintenance materials. Also, a mixture of external cladding. Including hand – crimped zinc selected for its robustness in a coastal environment. And Silvertop Ash cladding designed to grey and soften over time. In addition to this, coupled with large expanses of glass ensure the home will sit respectfully in its environment while effortlessly capturing ocean views.

On the other hand, rather than follow the traditional floor plan with living areas on the ground floor opening up to the garden, Modscape, designers and builders of modular houses, considered flipping the script and putting the living spaces upstairs. The problem with this approach was the clients’ desire for the home to be accessible. Solving both issues, Modcape put the living areas and main bedroom upstairs, soaking in that fabulous view and also incorporated a lift, to make life easy and accessible for the owners. Similarly, large pivot doors, wide hallways, an extra – wide stair and open, spacious bathrooms ensure the entire home is accessible.

Somers Modular Home, a Beach House in Luxury and Light by Modscape — Somers feature home showcases the power of modular to deliver a contemporary residential solution which is not only inviting and accessible but also uncompromisingly luxurious.

The kitchen largely concealed behind white doors and drawers, helping it disappear into the background when not in use and making it a cinch to hide a stack of dishes when guests pop over unexpectedly (as they’re wont to do in the country)!

In contrast, a monolithic island bench does anything but blend into the background. It feels like it’s been carved from a huge chunk of stone but is actually clad in a large-scale porcelain tile.
