The Phillip Island beach house renovation by Lisa Elliott Interior Design transformed a dated two-story property into a vibrant coastal retreat, blending luxury with practical seaside living. The renovation highlights include a new wrap-around verandah and raised deck on the upper level, where residents can enjoy stunning views of Port Phillip Bay. With an emphasis on alfresco outdoor design, the new deck area is perfect for relaxing or entertaining, capturing the essence of a high-end beachside lifestyle.

Inside, the kitchen is a standout feature, showcasing green penny-round mosaic wall tiles that add a splash of colour and a touch of whimsy, complementing the coastal surroundings. The kitchen also includes a v-groove profile on the cabinetry and an openable window above the bench, with a raised bar extending to the outdoor deck, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor spaces. This thoughtful architectural design element creates a unique, functional gathering area for family and friends.

The fully refurbished interior features new wall paint, flooring, and modern amenities throughout, elevating the overall look and feel of the home. By collaborating closely with the client's building designer, Lisa Elliott Interior Design ensured the design not only enhanced the home’s functionality but also achieved the client’s vision for a stylish, enduring beachside sanctuary. This project is a prime example of how award-winning designers in Melbourne bring luxury interior design to life in partnership with architects and clients. For those seeking a refined yet relaxed aesthetic, this Phillip Island home serves as an inspiring model of high-end interior design.

Lisa Elliott Interior Design was engaged to oversee this project from conception to completion. The new works boast a beautiful amount of light filled spaces, and sensitivity to the existing home. Opportunities where considered to capture views of the bay, installing new sliding doors to connect the living areas & master bedroom with the new outdoor living space.

The interior plays with a mix of casual and honest textures, with finishes selected to emphasise the get-away-from-it-all atmosphere, with a consideration of the day to day practicalities of a family beach-side home.
