A refined palette of gracefully ageing, tactile materials defines this Kyneton, Victoria, home by Edition Office.
The greatest inspiration for the project came from the client’s ambition to capture the passing of time through curated views of the garden, and white ceiling volumes that pick up the fluctuating levels of natural daylight.
The home’s deepened position within the site allows its relatively simple brick form to avoid feeling dominated by the garden, but instead wrapped and softly enveloped by it.
Troy Wilkinson, owner of Twil Constructions, first discovered this property in Broken Head (about 20 minutes south of Bryon Bay) while his partner, artist and co-owner of Yeah Nice Gallery, Jordana Henry, was pregnant and in Europe. It wasn’t ideal timing, but Troy was confident the 1970s farm shack could become their family home.
Upon finally seeing the property in person, and hearing Troy’s vision for the space, Jordana agreed – she could definitely see their family growing old in this home.
Putting his professional building skills to good use, Troy has turned the once rundown house into an open, bright, and simple home for the young family of three (with another on the way!).
