Edgecliff Homes Project 12

REFRAMING THE FARMHOUSE

A unique and visually stunning twist on the modern farmhouse style that has exploded in popularity for recent modern homes, Edgecliff Homes would describe this project as bold, homely and family-oriented. The brief provided by the happy homeowners included creating a residence that has a presence from the street yet feels like a home from the moment you walk through the door. The sharp, pitched roofing and stark monochromatic palette make an eye-catching statement from the pathway, with the front door leading you into a cosy lounge room as a centrepiece of family bonding. With this careful choice in design and layout, Edgecliff Homes has executed the homeowners’ brief with exceptional success.

Monument paint was used as the cladding throughout the home to make the surfmist roof ‘pop’, along with 35-degree roof pitches to further strengthen the presence of the house’s façade. Ecofriendly external Weathertex cladding and light-coloured roofing help with passive thermal control to maximise comfort throughout the seasons.

The layout was something the Edgecliff Homes team took into careful consideration when planning for this project. It was key to maximising the space both in and around the estate, conscious of the homeowners’ personalised tastes and hobbies. With a homely ambience in mind, the chef’s kitchen is perfect for entertaining guests and hosting family dinners, and the open-plan living invites a sense of flow between the communal spaces.

Warm textures and finishes permeate throughout, with well-placed skylights above the lounge area to further emphasise comfort and invitation. A courtyard runs along the side of the home, also allowing for more natural light to filter through and give the interior a grandiose sense of space.

This home boasts four bedrooms, with a generously sized main bathroom and en suite that both have wet room configuration. The master bedroom also has a sizeable walk-in wardrobe and its own private balcony, making it a relaxing retreat for parents.
