Turner Road Architecture, had the privilege of collaborating with Wendy and Bernard Hilhorst on their historic homestead in Cambridge.

The century-old Arts and Craft style home, originally envisioned by the renowned architect James Douce, stands as a testament to timeless design and rural elegance.

The Hilhorst’s were keen to preserve the character and historic charm of the home, while modernising and incorporating greater flow and connectivity between spaces, for more comfortable contemporary living.

Wendy shared her thoughts on the project, “Working with Turner Road Architecture was a stressless experience and they were so accommodating of all of our requirements. As the renovation was of a 100-year-old Arts and Craft style home, we wanted to maintain the original style and features but modernise for today’s lifestyle. We feel this has been achieved, and the home will stand proud for another 100 years!”

The combined efforts and abilities of Turner Road Architecture, the talented team at GD Pringle Builders and a dedicated, design-focused couple have achieved a tasteful and sympathetic restoration - reviving an iconic home to its original splendour.

About the
Professional

At Turner Road Architecture we love a well-thought out design - one that meets our clients' brief and budget yet exceeds their imagination and expectations of what is possible.

Over our 15 years or so in the architectural business we’ve earned a reputation for creativity and exceptional attention-to-detail in all areas of architecture, from residential new homes to large-scale commercial design. But what is at the heart of our philosophy is our collaborative approach and ability to visualise our clients’ goals and ideals and bring these to life in exciting and sometimes unexpected ways.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
