Trentham Residence
New Home / Single Residential
This dwelling was for a Melbourne couple who wanted a weekender that allowed them to engage with the countryside and in time become their primary home. The brief was for a home with room for guests, that makes the most of the site, while considering the weather extremes in central Victoria. The Z-shaped plan provides various outdoor spaces that offer protection at different times of day and weather conditions while also providing three distinct internal wings. The building’s form is reminiscent of traditional country homes and makes the most of recycled, raw and natural materials.

Atcliffe Walder Atelier is an architectural studio born out of an ongoing partnership between Marnie Atcliffe and Kathryn Walder.
We are both Registered Architects and A+ Institute Members with over 40 years of combined experience working in the residential architecture and design construct industry in Victoria.
Our underlying beliefs are that buildings should contribute positively and that well designed homes improve the lives of their occupants.
We feel that architectural design is a collaborative process and we’re interested in working with like-minded people to realise their dreams.
