Is This the Most Beautiful Modern Farmhouse in Australia?

What makes a farmhouse different from a country house? MRTN Architects were tasked with designing a new home on a working sheep farm in Shady Creek, Victoria. Referencing the surrounding sheds in material, scale and tone, the result is a modern farmhouse that feels deeply rooted in its place.

Organised around a pinwheel plan, the house revolves around a central concrete column, with the kitchen, living, and dining areas connecting to a courtyard. Generous windows, timber detailing and recessed openings bring a softness to the otherwise rugged palette of corrugated iron and concrete. The courtyard, inspired by Japanese garden design, mediates between enclosure and openness.
