Victoria Merrett Architects

Victoria Merrett Architects is an architecture practice whose work includes homes on the Mornington Peninsula at Mount Martha, Sorrento, Main Ridge and Portsea, as well as projects in Brighton and Elwood.

On Lunchbox, Marianne House in Rye transforms a modest 76-square-metre coastal cabin among melaleuca trees into a 208-square-metre family retreat without losing its original charm. The cabin's warm timber-lined walls and striking brick fireplace remain at its heart, flowing into a sleek new wing that preserves the original footprint while adding modern comfort, with raked ceilings, exposed structure and a courtyard.
