The resulting home is a striking re-creation with all the external charm of the original homestead, with modern functionality and layout.  High pitched roof with tall gables, double verandah line, shutters, and extensive front porch and verandah achieve the typical Australian “Farm House” look the owners desired.

Zoning within the home allows areas not in use to be isolated from the main living space, thus increasing energy efficiency.  The ‘U’ shape of the home creates a sheltered outdoor area to take in the property views to the south, whilst the deck and verandah on the north provide shade to the windows during the summer months.
