When Harry Lambis bought a steep block of land on the south-eastern shores of Port Phillip, his first intentions were to build a simple holiday shack. He describes the original landscape as “undesirable”, far from an ideal block, with poor accessibility due to overgrown shrubs. A structural engineer by profession and director of his architectural firm, Pickles & Rouse, Harry was up for the challenge. While the original brief was to create a family holiday house, it soon became focused on capturing the amazing view from Red Hill to Portsea. “My brother Pete climbed one of the trees to get an idea of the possible views we could capture; after that, the shack idea was long gone,” Harry recalls.
