This 12-16 Henley St, Barwon Heads, is on the market for $ 6.6m- $ 7.2m
An application for half jokes to include a planetarium inside the house of a family of Barwon Heads was the catalyst of a circular design awarded where Stargazing is celebrated.
Seller John White was determined to think outside the square by replacing a tired beach house in the 50s with one of the first luxury reconstructions in the coastal city.
When the architects Jackson Clements Burrows came up with the concept of a second -floor circular tower coated with vertical wood slats, everything was inside.

The intriguing first circular floor still triggers rubber taking.
When tired of the river or the beach, it can still cool off in the salt water pool heated by gas.
“We wanted to stay away from square, square and 90 degree angles that are normally seen in many residential constructions,” White said.
“We wanted something that was more organic, more curved, more natural, and the motifs and circular angles through the house outside of that process.
“My wife came up with a Claraboya in the living room so that we could see the stars, like a mini planetarium.”
The surprising five bedroom residence and three bathrooms, completed in 2009, captivated the judges in the 2010 Victorian Architecture Awards, winning the new house category.
More than 15 years later, with their three children who now live away from home, the couple sells the extraordinary property of 1454 square meters in 12-16 Henley St, Barwon Heads.
The Claraboya allows to see the stars and the ascending moon from the comfort of the interior.

The agent of the Bellarine property list, Christian Bartley, hopes that the list, which includes a vacancy entitled 484SQ M, obtains between $ 6.6 million and $ 7.2m.
With cedar coating, floor to ceiling and polished concrete windows, the house of the timeless house defends sustainability with an energy classification of 7.5 stars, cross -flow ventilation and gray water recycling.
It is located among the established native gardens designed by local landscape architect Tim Nichols, which incorporate a salt water pool of 16 my a chimney outdoors.
White said the garden was one of the only things that the family had changed since it moved.
“Tim actually made our garden twice. Hey, initially, when we built the house for the first time, the children were quite young, so we had a springboard and a cubes house,” he said.
“Then, as they grew … we changed the garden to a little more grass.”
The house was designed around the existing trees at the 1454SQ M site, which is located in three titles.

The main bedroom suite has a private balcony overlooking the garden.
The architect Jon Clements was inspired by the original house of the 1950s on the site when it came to choosing playful colors for internal cabinets.
He said that the family life of the suit was in the heart of the design, in which the first circular floor serves as a private parents withdrawal with a main bedroom, study and living room.
“The house was really designed to accompany that remaining vegetation and be insensitive instead of prominent,” said Clements.
“And, of course, it was also designed at that time from an environmental perspective in terms of ventilation and cross orientation.”
As the winemaker behind Circus Wines, perhaps not surprising that one of Mr. White’s favorite places is the underground basement.
He said the house still attracted Rubbernecking, also all these years later.
“It was a very different house for that part of Barwon Heads at that particular moment, but I like to think that what we have influenced many other design projects in bars and other coastal areas,” he said.
