Moeraki Farm House - Moeraki

By Johnston Architects

Located on a large lifestyle block amongst rolling farmland paddocks, this large family home faces east, overlooking the famous Moeraki boulders and the boundless Pacific Ocean beyond.

Commissioned as a ‘forever home’ for a recently retired couple who wanted to ensure their entire family could visit comfortably, the house is composed of 5 gabled pavilions clad in black weatherboard and linked to one another with delicately glazed corridors.

The pavilions are planned to be one room deep with a corridor to the rear, to ensure that all of the habitable spaces enjoy the spectacular ocean views, whilst the living and kitchen spaces have a dual aspect and open out to the evening sun and a sheltered north-west facing the courtyard.

Elegant fair-faced concrete walls are placed along with the paved decks that front the house to provide privacy between the bedrooms and panoramic views.
