ARCHITECTURE

Design and Character

Scale, proportion and clean pure forms with large volume spaces
Draw from traditional and contemporary farm buildings;
Simplistic shed or barn-like form and footprint
Barn door types
Window/opening proportions
Materials such as corrugated sheeting (both as roofing material and vertical cladding), stone walls
Verandas and porches
Screens, shutters and shading devices
Use of colour, consider the use of one colour (different tones to complement natural materials) as an accent or feature (e.g. on barn doors to add interest) with strict minimal coverage

Truth to material, the use of materials where it is most appropriate without concealing its innate qualities, its right use and possibilities. e.g. exposed concrete left unpainted, timber’s natural grain highlighted, copper’s natural patina left untouched, exposed steelwork.

The use of locally sourced material
Courtyards and defined outside living areas
Frontages, streetscapes, boundary treatment and access that positively address the public realm
Built structures must have a minimal visual impact on the landscape.

A place where you can connect with the land, grow your own food and get to know your neighbours.
