Natural light is maximised through floor-to-ceiling windows, which dissolve the threshold between inside and out. The home's orientation optimises solar gain from the north, while dual-aspect openings encourage passive ventilation and cross-breeze cooling in the warmer months. Outdoor zones are strategically positioned to harness both morning and afternoon sunlight, with a western terrace shielded from prevailing winter winds for year-round usability.

Anchoring the home is a striking swimming pool and spa, around which the primary living zones gracefully unfold. The open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge connect effortlessly to the outdoor entertaining space, delivering a considered experience that elevates daily rituals and celebratory moments alike.
Subtle tones, textures and colours create a timeless backdrop that allows the built form and surrounding landscape to take centre stage. Expanses of glazing capture uninterrupted views across Port Phillip Bay while maintaining privacy from neighbouring properties through clever spatial planning and refined sightline control.
"We are thrilled with our new home. Latitude follow up with any issues and were very supportive throughout the build. I would recommend them to everyone. Thank you for our dream home."
- Amanda, Mount Martha
The house is cleverly designed with four distinct areas, a main living area where the family can come together in luxury, entertain or just take in the stunning location. The upper ground floor provides a zone for the younger generation with good connection to the rear yard and basketball court. While the top floor serves as a serene parents’ sanctuary, complete with a private balcony, vast picture window, and freestanding bath overlooking uninterrupted sea vistas.
Discreetly tucked beneath and out of sight the semi-basement pays homage to its coastal location offering a dedicated space for surfboards, fishing gear, bicycles and a gym, plus providing secure garaging for three cars.
The Ocean’s Edge exemplifies a restrained elegance that respects its environment while delivering an enduring sense of place. Crafted to evolve with its inhabitants and their changing needs over time.
