Meet Sunderland Bay - Edna 3B in Real Life
Nestled within a quiet court in Sunderland Bay on Phillip Island, the Uhlich Residence is home to Shed House Australia founder, Rhys Uhlich, and serves as a built expression of the architecture he envisioned for modern Australian living.
The project pairs the Edna home with a matching Sir Les Work & Play studio, creating a cohesive architectural composition that responds to both lifestyle and landscape. Positioned to embrace the site's peaceful setting, the home backs onto beautiful rolling grass hills, with the ocean only moments away, offering a constant connection to nature.
Designed around simplicity, functionality and enduring architectural form, the Edna provides warm, light-filled living spaces that frame views across the surrounding landscape. The matching Sir Les Work & Play extends the property's versatility, creating a dedicated space for work, creativity and recreation while maintaining a seamless architectural relationship with the main residence.
The material palette reflects the coastal character of Phillip Island, balancing durability with warmth and allowing the buildings to sit comfortably within their natural surroundings. Large openings, generous outdoor connections and carefully considered orientation ensure the home captures natural light, sea breezes and views throughout the day.
