Queenscliff I sits on a sleepy street in the coastal township of Queenscliff, this white weatherboard cottage has been altered and extended to create a flexible, comfortable, beach retreat for a family with older teenage children. It is a simple, relaxed calming residence, which connects strongly to surrounding landscape through the use of natural timbers and large floor to ceiling windows and doors. Its flexible nature means it can cater comfortably for immediate family, or open up for entertaining purposes.
