Our client had recently purchased a block of land in the Macedon Ranges and we were engaged to assist in creating their home away from home.

The initial off-grid home design was completed by Henry Ritterman architects, however we were engaged to review the spatial planning and flow of the spaces and to assist with all finishes, fixtures and material selections, custom joinery design and furnishing the space. With young children, the clients’ vision was for it to be an effortlessly liveable, timeless space that would be backdrop to their family life through the seasons. A special place where they would spend weekends and milestone moments, celebrating with their family and close friends.

The natural setting inspired the materiality and colour palette, with hardwearing materials and quality brass fittings that would age gracefully overtime. The home incorporated accents and some classic nostaligc elements unique to our client’s British heritage, as well as modern Australian farmhouse design. Special consideration was given to the bedrooms for quality sleep, and whole house water filters were incorporated to remove potential contaminants and ensure water quality.
