Project Overview

Set high on a hill overlooking an avocado plantation and dam, this project involved the transformation of a classic 1980s farmhouse into a modern, versatile homestead. The brief was to reimagine the existing home into a space that feels generous, functional, and refined, while retaining its connection to the surrounding rural landscape. The result is a home that balances contemporary comfort with the character of its setting, offering a relaxed yet elevated way of living.

Project Highlights

• Renovation and extension of an existing 1980s farmhouse
• Elevated position with expansive views across farmland and dam
• New open-plan living areas designed for connection and comfort
• Additional bedrooms and bathrooms integrated into the extended layout
• Brand-new kitchen and functional laundry
• Polished concrete floors throughout, revealing the original slab
• Double-glazed windows and doors improving comfort and performance
• Linea cladding, Monument matt roof, and updated eaves
• Freestanding alfresco pavilion with polished concrete plinth
• Concrete benchtop and honed concrete floors to the alfresco

Our Role

SWBC worked closely with the clients to guide the renovation from early planning through to completion. Our role involved coordinating the extension works, managing the integration of old and new, and delivering a high level of finish throughout. Careful attention was given to material selection, construction sequencing, and detailing to ensure the transformed home feels cohesive, refined, and well suited to both everyday living and entertaining. The result is a modern homestead that respects its origins while offering a new level of comfort and versatility.
