Woodend House I

This contemporary farmhouse in Woodend has been designed as a modern interpretation of the traditional rural gable form. Simple pitched rooflines, light-toned cladding and warm timber detailing create a home that feels calm, refined and connected to its garden setting. The design balances familiar country character with a clean contemporary approach, offering a practical and elegant home for modern regional living.

The planning is centred around generous living spaces, garden outlooks and a strong connection to outdoor entertaining areas. Large areas of glazing bring natural light deep into the home, while the pergola, planting and sheltered courtyard spaces soften the architecture and create comfortable places to gather throughout the year. Internally, vaulted timber-lined ceilings, warm floors and carefully framed views give the home a relaxed but considered farmhouse feel.

Delivered as a design and build project, the home combines thoughtful architectural design with a high energy rating and a focus on long-term comfort. Orientation, insulation, glazing and material selection have been carefully considered to support energy-efficient living in Woodend’s cooler climate. The result is a contemporary country home that is beautiful, efficient and well suited to life in the Macedon Ranges.
