Mod Farm Houses

We love good architecture and these homes sure are inspirational. Not only are the buildings beautiful, but they sit perfectly in their surroundings. All of these designs could look great in the hinterlands surrounding the coast


This extension seems to float on the water. You probably couldn't build this in Australia without a lot of barriers at the building edges. We can only imagine the sense of serenity sitting in the end room.

This room is a fantastic blank canvas waiting for all the trimmings. We'd love to get creative in this space! A great design borrowing from traditional methods with the shingled walls juxtaposed with contemporary details such as the frame of the large opening which looks to be stainless steel - wow!

Almost folly-like this building springs proud up out of the ground. You can definitely see the reference to classic country homes here.


What a fantastic statement! A modern sculptural effort has been softened with timber that has been left to go grey. Such a success!
