Stepping over the threshold of this spacious and modern home is like a warm hug. With plenty of style and charisma, it’s a delightful welcoming dwelling.
It’s a far cry from its original incarnation, a pitched-roof farmhouse that was constructed in the 1980s. Aaron Neighbour from Atlas Architects says the original house had turned its back on some of the best views in Victoria — particularly from the west. “Our clients wanted to insert a new dimension that embraced, celebrated and centred the view so that no matter where you are in the house, you are connected to nature,” he says.
The semi-retired clients wanted a family home that would cater for extended family, where generations could gather together and connect with each other. Aaron says they desired a residence that was unapologetically for living. “A home where living areas are prioritised above all else, creating a space that welcomes family and encourages connection, reunion and shared experiences,” he explains.
The project involved a renovation of the existing home and the addition of a large family room extension which incorporated a new kitchen, living and dining space. The existing building needed to be reskinned to create a new exterior appearance that melded flawlessly with the new living areas.
