Also new is the pool and pool house, which includes gym space and a sauna.The two new structures have a gabled form and are further distinguished from the existing structure by their horizontal cedar cladding.Inside, the interiors were developed to be a sanctuary – an expression of personality and understated luxury.For example, the extended casual lounge has gabled timber ceilings and expansive windows, and features a central Mooi design light fitting. Ralph Lauren cushions and woollen throws enhance the homestead feeling. Meanwhile, the existing dated teal kitchen is gone – replaced by a 3 metre island with a Calacatta Macchia Vecchia honed marble topand a separate bar area.The TIDA judges were impressed with what has been a truly dramatic transformation, taking an unremarkable existing structure and skilfully turning it into a welcoming, relaxed family homestead.
