THE FARM HOUSE
RESERVE CREEK, NSW
APRIL / 2020
Tony & Kerry's first intention was to build a holiday house for their family on the beautiful land owned for over 30 years. The land has 360 degrees of amazing views from the Cabarita beach to the Mount Warning, approaching stunning sunrises and remarkable sunsets.
After 6 months through the design process and 1 year dealing with Council approval, this stunning place came to life and not just become a holiday house for the entire family but also a retirement home for the couple that decided to stay there.
The design solution was to create a pavilion-style house. The main pavilion incorporates the Kitchen, dining, and living, as well as the master bedroom and ensuite. The second wing has three bedrooms, a bathroom to accomodate the extended family during holidays. The house maximizes the site with windows framing the views from different angles. Morning sunrises at the front deck and afternoon sunsets western built-in seats are some of the key principles of the design.
The black and white color palette simplifies the building shape allowing the surrounding landscape to stand out.
High ceilings are also a must on this project that allows the breeze to circulate through all open plan and reflects naturally the external lighting internally.
Is was a pleasure to work on this project. The clients were very involved with the design and construction. Steve Willcox from Willconstruct did an amazing job delivering high-quality end and detailed construction.
