135_Tarrengower_School_17zStep inside our latest project: a breathtaking architectural home set on rural acreage. In Tarrengower, a town near Daylesford in Victoria, our clients envisioned their dream country home, and we brought their design ideas to life.

This stunning three bedroom, two bathroom home blends contemporary luxury with rustic charm. Drawing from our iconic Newhaven 21 design, it also features personalised modifications that cater to the unique lifestyle of our clients, creating the ultimate countryside retreat.

Exterior 135_Tarrengower_School_11z

Our clients selected our Newhaven 21 design with a modern gable facade, which features striking tall raked ceilings that add a sense of grandeur and spaciousness to the home.

135_Tarrengower_School_15zThe exterior of the home showcases stunning vertical Weathertex Weathergroove cladding in the colour Monument, providing both durability and a modern aesthetic appeal.

135_Tarrengower_School_12zThis sleek design is also complemented by the spotted gum timber cladding feature on the underside of the eaves and the internal nib wall surrounding the gable windows, adding warmth and natural texture. 

135_Tarrengower_School_07zThe inclusion of merbau decking at the front and rear of the home offers inviting outdoor spaces perfect for relaxing and entertaining in the beautiful rural setting.

Kitchen

135_Tarrengower_School_03zThe kitchen, a true centerpiece of this home, embodies modern farmhouse style with a touch of elegance. Matte black handles on the cabinetry beautifully complement the dark stainless steel appliances, creating a chic, cohesive look.

135_Tarrengower_School_02zThe large stone waterfall benchtop adds a modern edge, while the recessed panel profile of the cabinetry doors and island panel maintains a classic farmhouse feel.

The walk-in pantry is a practical and stylish feature, providing ample storage space and keeping appliances like the fridge, microwave, and coffee machine tucked away, ensuring a clean and uncluttered kitchen space.

Living 

135_Tarrengower_School_01zThis home features a large open-plan living space that seamlessly connects the dining and kitchen areas, ideal for family gatherings and entertaining. The engineered oak timber flooring in an earthy matte hazelnut tone adds warmth to the space, making the lighter kitchen and furniture stand out beautifully.

Additionally, there are two separate flexible living spaces, which our clients utilised as a study and a music room. These rooms offer versatility to suit various lifestyle needs, for example, larger families could be convert them into extra bedrooms.

Bathrooms

135_Tarrengower_School_05zThe home features two thoughtfully designed bathrooms: an elegant ensuite and a well-appointed main bathroom. The main bathroom was reconfigured by combining the separate W/C with the bathroom into one spacious room, improving overall functionality and flow.

By removing the walk-in robe from the master bedroom, the ensuite was expanded to include a double vanity, providing ample space and convenience. 

Bedrooms

135_Tarrengower_School_04zBedrooms one and two feature expansive gable picture windows, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and filling the rooms with natural light. These impressive windows not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also create a serene and inspiring atmosphere, making the bedrooms a true retreat.

135_Tarrengower_School_06zEach of the three bedrooms is generously proportioned, with widths of 4.6m and lengths ranging from 3.2m to 4.1m.

The Tarrengower Project Floorplan

The Tarrengower Project is based on our Newhaven 21 design but has been efficiently modified by our design team to meet the specific needs of our clients and their site. Key modifications include:

  • A flipped floorplan
  • Positioning the two bedrooms on the smaller wing.
  • Positioning the third bedroom, along with the two flexible living spaces (a study and a music room) on the larger wing.
  • Replacing the walk-in robe in the master bedroom with a built-in robe, allowing for a more spacious ensuite.
  • Combining the separated W/C and main bathroom.
