Powerful presence classic French homestead by Stonehaven Homes

If you have the desire and passion to achieve a grand lifestyle retreat, there is a like-minded design-and-build company to supply the matching architectural vision.

Stonehaven Homes creates both classic and contemporary residences designed by its own team of award-winning architects, says managing director David Newnham.

"Solid, reliable eco-friendly materials and traditional building techniques are combined with a professional eye for the dramatic, and attention to fine details," says Newnham. "All our house designs maximise site assets in a sustainable way, while retaining a dramatic street appeal."

This sprawling homestead fronting onto a winery is an example of the care lavished on all Stonehaven projects. The clients were a referral from a previous job.

"The brief was for a rustic farmhouse with large entertaining areas and a family-friendly layout," Newnham says. "In response we created a home nestled into the hillside with a central entry, separate formal and informal areas, master suite, library, two further bedrooms and a home theatre. The library and its tower identifies the home from the street and the vineyard.

Clients are involved at all stages of a Stonehaven Homes design-and-build project from initial consultation through to completion, to ensure peace of mind.
