The client approached us to design a new residential dwelling on a large vacant site at the gated development in Mount Marua. The client’s chosen aesthetic was a large scale modern vernacular homestead with clean lines and minimal colour palette.

  • The design includes simple gable forms in a ‘U’ shaped configuration to provide privacy to separate wings of the building and provide a large courtyard for outdoor living.

    The selected cladding is a mixture of low maintenance materials including deep trough roofing, vertical fibre cement, stone and rendered ACC panel.

    The pool-house serves as a secondary retreat on a terrace separate to the main dwelling. This building compliments the main house and incorporates a barbeque area and changing room.
