Casa Noma

02 / 04

Residential

Mornington Peninsula

2025

Concept study

Warm kitchen with rustic timber island, woven pendants and cream cabinetry; wide angle.

The idea

A coastal home, grounded in simplicity.

Casa Noma imagines a house shaped by the slower pace of the peninsula. Rooms open to one another, with a generous communal centre and sheltered corners that make time alone feel just as natural as time together.

Fictional project. Images illustrate the design direction and are not photographs of a MORA commission.

Material & atmosphere

Sun-washed tones.
Tactile surfaces.

A chalky, sun-washed palette sets the tone. Pale stone, textured walls and tactile fabrics bring depth without visual noise. The approach favours fewer, more substantial pieces and materials that would settle into the home over time.

  • Travertine
  • Mineral plaster
  • Pale timber
  • Textured cotton
