Contemporary materials are combined skillfully in this home that sprawls over its elevated rural site. Pale tones in the vertical timber are offset with black steel roofing, creating striking contrasts amid the lush, shades-of-green surrounds.
The centre of the house is a showcase of impressive proportions, with a double-height living area and 2.7m stud height elsewhere. Automated skylights and feature glass enhance the feeling of light and space.
Oversized custom architraves and skirting, and decorative raked ceilings add a warm and welcoming country feel to the interior. This four-bedroom, 385sqm home is designed to bring a busy family together – and to give them plenty of their own space. Each bedroom is generous and well-appointed, and the main-bedroom suite is a private escape with country-style timber detailing and a luxurious ensuite.
Entertaining spaces have been created throughout the home – open-plan living flows onto a covered deck and into a separate media lounge. Four-car garaging and an impressive workshop top off this spacious, splendid country home.
We’re excited to see this modern country home come to life as its family of four settles in; and we are sure they will love living in it as much as we have loved building it for them.
