Hide House: MRTN Architects' Dune-Top Retreat in Venus Bay

architecture-design · 2026-05-19

MRTN Architects designed Hide House, a residence atop a sand dune in Venus Bay, South Gippsland, Australia. Completed in 2021, the house is nestled among coastal tea trees, offering views of northern waterways and eastern tidal flats while shielding from strong southwestern winds. The project was curated by Miwa Negoro and photographed by Dave Kulesza. The home prioritizes shelter from prevailing winds, a common feature of the area, and integrates with its natural dune landscape.
