There aren’t many properties like this coastal house in coastal Inverloch, southeast of Melbourne, with an upper level in the tree canopy, enveloped in silvertop ash and wrapped by a steel walkway. Called, appropriately, Walkway House, it occupies a 4,932sqm site opposite the dunes. The plot spans two titles, including a primary residence and a separate self-contained dwelling.

The house was designed by Archier around a central concrete core. A galvanised steel walkway wraps around the upstairs, forming an external circulation route that connects the bedrooms and sits among surrounding vegetation. The living spaces are arranged at ground level beneath the elevated structure. Full-height glazing runs along the perimeter, opening the rooms to the landscape and allowing views through the house to the trees. A sunken living area is positioned around a fireplace, with timber linings, concrete and stone used throughout.
The secondary dwelling is located on its own title and functions independently of the main house.
The site sits directly opposite Inverloch’s coastal reserve, with access to the beach and inlet across the dunes and within walking distance of the town centre. The agent is taking expressions of interest until 7 May.
