French Island Project

Architect designed by Lai Chong Brown, the brief of this project was to build a new farmhouse on rugged French Island in the middle of Victoria’s Westernport Bay.

The project was confronted with a range of challenges, including no power, water or other services to the site; no sealed roads on the island, and access only by passenger ferry or charter barge service. The site is also particularly windswept and faces out to Bass Strait across Phillip Island.
