This beautiful farmhouse is located in the South Coast hills of Rose Valley, near Gerringong. Surrounded by farm land and framed by two fig trees, the architecture is a contemporary response to a traditional farmhouse consisting of a large family home and a detached garage and studio. The home is C-shaped to have an internal courtyard protected from the elements whilst creating the adult and children wings off a large family area.
A wrap around balcony captures stunning views and the hardwood trusses sitting atop recycled brick piers highlight traditional materials including weatherboard cladding, timber windows and metal sheet roofing.
Rama is a multi-disciplinary design team specialising in architecture and interior design. our vision is to create beautiful spaces and timeless architecture that gives people an enhanced sense of well-being.
Design Style and Principals
Rama is proud to explore a variety of different styles of Architecture and Interior Design, from traditional coastal or weatherboard homes to innovative modern structures, non-residential projects and everything in between. Our philosophy with Architecture and Interior Design revolves around the ideologies of simplicity, balance, scale & proportion and a connection to landscape.
Architecture
Our practice thrives on innovation, pushing boundaries and dreaming up spaces yet to be seen. We’re also grounded and pragmatic.‘Form follows function’ is a principle of modernist architecture, which is embodied in all the work we do. Our Architecture performs first on a functional level before we endeavour for an aesthetic solution.
Interior Design
Rama offers interior design services as a component of a greater architectural project or as a stand-alone interior design offering. Our designers enjoy working closely with clients to achieve a result that reflects their desired outcomes and requirements and are happy to facilitate showroom visits to select materials, finishes and furniture. Upon establishing the brief, design intent and project direction, our designers offer tailored design advice to suit each client to create beautiful homes that are bespoke, refined and complimentary to their lives.
