At the pinnacle of a scenic hill in Victoria's Yarra Valley stands our recently completed Gruyere farmhouse. This five-year journey, from conception to realization, stands as a testament to our dedicated team of architects, documenters, consultants, builders, and, most importantly, our clients. Successfully navigating challenging planning constraints, a COVID pandemic, and extreme weather conditions demanded resilience and a cohesive team sharing common values and principles.

This project and site presented some great opportunities as well as the obvious constraints, a generous width considering its inner-city context was balanced by a lack of depth and a two-three storey concrete wall on its rear boundary.The existing house required stripping back to its original form by the removal of add-on lean-to structures and overgrown gardens. Given a romantic attachment to the building it was to be carefully restored re-instating period details and preparing the plan for the new additions. However it was the new additions that were free to explore various spatial and architectural options that could take advantage of the unique site.
