Hi Friends,
Happy Easter to you all.
Over the past few months, I’ve been working on several new projects. One of which is ready to share. It is a commission proposing a barn house on acreage in Lower Beechmont, Queensland.
The house attempts to take inspiration from traditional agricultural forms, reimagined in a contemporary way. Rather than a single large structure, the design is broken into a series of pavilions. The left is the main family residence, with the right more about storage and farm function in its various forms.
The materials are drawn from the character of the site with its native colours. Externally, weathered corrugated iron grounds the building in its setting, while inside, stained Hoop Pine milled from the site itself introduces warmth.
The layout is designed to stay closely connected to the land. Covered entry points, recessed openings, and carefully placed windows help manage light, shade, and airflow and outlook.
Enjoy the plans and images.
