The resultant double storey home captures the extended landscape views perfectly via an angular shaped plan affording both levels spectacular vistas through large picture windows and outdoor decks. A large outdoor living space was located to the east and features a teppanyaki bar, kitchen servery and the fire pit. Recycled timber has been used extensively throughout this design. 116 year old Norwegian blue spruce grown on the property has been used in the outdoor cabinetry, teppanyaki bar, wall claddings, timber mantel, dining table and library bookcase. The 18 external feature posts are grey ironbark recovered from darling
harbour, Sydney. The use of Mount Gambier fossiliferous limestone reflects both a country heritage sense and an earthy natural appearance. A combination of rough and smooth surface blocks relieves the facades similar to nature’s landscape. Stacked stone walls to the outdoor area tie the house into the natural beauty of the
location.
