The first phase prioritised creating an open chef’s kitchen and improving its connection to the adjacent guest spaces. A large central breakfast bar was introduced, complemented by a new scullery. The design improved the indoor-outdoor flow, linking the kitchen with expansive outdoor dining and living areas. An informal lounge was created adjacent to the kitchen, maintaining the warmth and character of the space with a refurbished Aga wood burner oven.
The second phase addressed the exterior of the main house. The exterior palette was refreshed, with updates to paint colours, roofing materials, and stone cladding. A new cantilevered deck and pergola structure was suspended over the bush clad gulley below, creating a seamless outdoor experience for guests to engage with the tranquil landscape. The resulting architectural design coordinates with a new landscape approach to create a harmonious integration between the built and natural environments.
