Let's design the home that goes with it. Thirty years of designing beautiful, sustainable, cost-effective homes on this coastline — every project led personally by architect Dr Jeremy Ham. CALL JEREMY €” FREE CONSULTATION VIEW THE WORK WATCH THE FILM SCROLL MATERIALS, DETAILS AND MOMENTS €” THREE DECADES OF COASTAL CRAFT THE PRACTICE Good Surf Coast architecture contributes to the landscape rather than imposing on it, helps families live more sustainably, and is so specific to its people that it could not belong to anyone else — or sit anywhere else. SurfCoast Architecture is a Torquay-based practice designing new homes, renovations and rebuilds across the Surf Coast — from the bushland behind Bells Beach to the dramatic coastal slopes of Apollo Bay. 0+ YEARS ON THE COAST 0 ARBV REGISTERED SINCE 0★ GOOGLE REVIEWS 0% ARCHITECT-LED, NO JUNIORS SELECTED WORK Homes shaped by their site,

Step inside the homes — from the Abode TV feature on Jeremy's own Bells Beach Bush House to flying tours through three decades of Surf Coast work. "What I offer my clients is not a style. It is a process of genuine inquiry — into their site, their brief, their life — and a commitment to finding the design that is most specifically right for them. That is the work that endures."

and personal. 01 Deep local expertise Designing on the Surf Coast since 1997 — the sites, the planning overlays, the coastal conditions, the councils and their quirks. Every block here has constraints; we find the design solution others miss. 02 Direct access to your architect Jeremy works personally on every project from first sketch to final inspection. No project managers, no hand-offs to juniors — one architect, fully accountable. 03 3D design from day one The latest CAD technology means you see and understand your home in three dimensions before a single thing is built — no surprises, no guesswork. 04 Value-first thinking We design to your budget, not around it. Good architecture should pay for itself in liveability, energy savings and resale value. 05 Built for this coast Sustainability isn't a checkbox — it's passive solar planning, salt-resistant materials and designs that respect the landscape you chose to live in. 06 A home that fits your life We listen carefully to how you actually live before pen touches paper. The result is a home designed around you — never a template. HOW IT WORKS From first conversation
to keys in hand. FREE CONSULTATION A no-obligation conversation about your site, your brief and what's possible — no jargon, no hard sell. CONCEPT DESIGN IN 3D Creative design responses to your site and budget, modelled in 3D so you can walk through them before committing. PLANNING & PERMITS We navigate Surf Coast Shire overlays, setbacks and approvals — the local knowledge that gets permits through. DOCUMENTATION Detailed drawings and specifications that builders can price accurately and build from with confidence. CONSTRUCTION Consultancy during the construction stage — protecting your interests until the home is yours. CLIENT WORDS ★★★★★ "It was a pleasure working with Jeremy to create our home. It was a tricky block of land but his design ideas were both creative and practical. He went above and beyond to get us through the planning process. Our home is warm, functional and beautiful to live in." NEW HOME €” JAN JUC · GOOGLE REVIEW WHERE WE WORK From Bells Beach
to Apollo Bay. Torquay & Jan Juc Anglesea Aireys Inlet Lorne THE ARCHITECT Dr Jeremy Ham The Surf Coast is not just where Jeremy works. It's where he has lived, surfed and raised his family since 1995 — and visited since the 1970s. A registered architect with the ARBV since 1997, he brings the rigour of an award-winning academic and the practical knowledge of someone who knows this coastline's builders, blocks, councils and planning quirks inside out. Over more than two decades he has built the practice through difficult, complex projects — in the bushland at Bells Beach, major renovations at Anglesea, within the tightly planned Aireys Inlet town centre, and on the dramatic coastal slopes of Apollo Bay. In every project the aim is the same: innovative in design, responsive to the site, and environmental in minimising impact on the planet — communicated clearly in 3D, every step of the way.
