Nestled on the edge of Barwon Valley in Birregurra, on Gulidjan and Wadawurrung country, this project reimagines rural living for our client Heather and her family. The sustainable farmhouse balances modern comforts, flexibility and off-grid living with a design that is responsive to the farmland and the native vegetation that surrounds it.
