Contemporary family home featuring a unique monopitch roof, thoughtfully designed wings for living and guest areas, and a sheltered courtyard for outdoor entertaining, harmoniously blending with its semi-rural surroundings.
This large family home embraces its semi-rural setting with sweeping monopitch rooflines offering a contemporary take on the traditional form of nearby farm buildings, while muted colours and areas of natural timber cladding help ground it.
Conceived in two wings, the ground floor hosts a living wing to the north and a guest/service wing to the south, with the entry and stairwell central. The resulting courtyard to the west provides much-needed protection from the notorious cold easterly winds as well as a private area for late afternoon/evening entertaining. The bedrooms are located upstairs, where the stairwell is again central, allowing space between the childrens area and the parents area.
