Requiring renovation of the existing dwelling, our client desired a retreat for their family tailored to suit their well-travelled lifestyle. To fulfill their vision, the design needed to retain aspects of the original farmhouse, while integrating modern amenities to transform it into a luxurious and modern dwelling. Our design was driven by the fundamental concept of capturing the magnificent vistas of the surrounding landscape, a challenge that was intensified by the original homestead’s lack of northern views. Seeking a lifestyle property that would blend in well with the wineries of the Yarra Valley, the desire to maintain a cohesive aesthetic drove our design through material choices and meticulous design planning. These constraints contributed to the creation of a stunning lifestyle property that exudes a cohesive aesthetic, perfectly marrying the charm of the original farmhouse with modern luxury living.
