Cootamundra Farmhouse Complex

Cootamundra NSW

2024

The project involves the restoration of a 1905 Federation country homestead in original condition including sympathetic additions and internal alterations. The new wing attaches to the rear and wraps around a new gravel courtyard, the original 3 sided verandah has been restored and a cupola added to drop light into the centre of the house. All services have been renewed including rain water harvesting, waste treatment and an off grid power supply. Materially the new additions internally subtly vary from the original as does the exterior defining the new from the old. The works included the  surrounding 19 century garden were restored including the working sheds and driveways.
