NSW Southern Highlands with Sarah K – The Design Files | Australia's most popular design blog.

Today we bring you the second instalment of our new travel column! Our tour guide on this occasion is architect, designer and big-ideas person Sarah King.

You may have heard of ‘Sarah K’ in connection with  her sustainable design initiative Supercyclers, or perhaps The Other Hemisphere, which showcases Australian design at various international design events, including the Salone del Mobile in Milan and design weeks in London and Tokyo. Sarah K is a dynamic do-er, and is devoted to preserving and sharing beauty – be it natural or thoughtfully man-made!

Having lived all over Australia, Sarah is now based in Moss Vale, and has recently converted a workshop on her property into a charming weekender called closed(work)shop, furnished with a beautiful edit of Australian design pieces.

Today, Sarah introduces us to her top spots in the NSW Southern Highlands, just over one-and-a-half hours drive south-west of Sydney, with stop-offs at Fitzroy Falls, Moss Vale and Bowral.

An Idyllic Family Home On The Mornington Peninsula

Billy Innes grew up among the beaches and fresh air on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula – an idyllic childhood she desired for her own three children.

Years after finding the perfect site in Flinders, Billy and her architect father worked together to design a gorgeous family home. 

The contemporary house adopts a barn-like structure, characterised by natural materials and surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens.

We think it’s the perfect family home!
