Virginia Morris spent her childhood summers holidaying in Anglesea, so to purchase a property in the Victorian beach town 10 years ago felt like returning home.
Built in 1984 by a local builder, the house has been slowly renovated by Virginia over the past decade, and has evolved alongside her now-teenage children.
The home’s location, just steps from Point Roadknight beach, is simply the cherry on top!
When it comes to renovating an existing home, sometimes the best and most elegant design solutions are found in restraint. This is especially true when it comes to midcentury homes.
Interior design firm Pipkorn Kilpatrick went to great pains to respect the vernacular and principles of modernist design when it came to updating their client’s Portsea home, which was originally designed by Robin Boyd for Consolidated Home Industries (CHI) in 1956.
The result is a fresh new space with better flow to suit the needs of modern life, ensuring its legacy is maintained and celebrated for many years to come.
If you’d asked a young Alex McCabe, co-founder and creative director of Kip&Co, where she’d raise her future children, she definitely wouldn’t have guessed her hometown on the Mornington Peninsula, and especially not the land her parents bought 30 years ago!
When her parents went to sell the block a few years ago, Alex realised her nostalgic attachment to the land, and decided to take it off their hands. Since then, she’s built a weekender on the property with her husband Bobby Babb, and children Quincy (2) and Pearl (2 months) which they will soon move into permanently!
