The house now comfortably sleeps eight people across three bedrooms, with French doors and shuttered windows opening to the natural surrounds. The tropical design of the house is made obvious with the beautiful central courtyard in the middle of the house. The Gandhi Farmhouse as it is called, is a stylish modern abode with a tropical design. They engaged Melbourne firm, Studio Esteta to advise on the updated design, structural layout and fixtures, and then local builders, Pirie Homes, to complete the renovation. Today we would like to present to you a tour of a rustic farmhouse inspired home designed by 4th Axis Design Studio, architects based in India. Given its rustic charm, Edwina and Neil resisted making too many changes – only what was necessary to bring the house into a liveable, 21st century standard. The cottage was originally a shearer’s cottage and built out of sandstone from a nearby quarry in the 1800s. ‘It’s very rewarding to see these trees towering over us now and the land and the creek that runs through the property slowly regenerating,’ says Edwina. The couple renamed the regenerated property ‘ Warramba‘ and began to think about sharing its 100 acres of rolling land and wildlife with other guests. Neil and Edwina promptly removed all live stock for six months in order to rest the ground, and planted nearly 5,000 trees with the help of their neighbours and BirdLife NSW, to boost the site’s natural rehabilitation.
The land had been overgrazed for many years and was in very tired condition.
‘Like many renovators, if we knew how much work there was to do, we probably would never have started.’ 'Of course, the most important place to start in any design is with solid design principles,' Block says. Rustic elements like Adirondack chairs, built-in benches with cushions, and even old-fashioned oak barrels will fit better than sleek, modern dcor. ‘There was a green tree frog living in the loo and a garden hose connecting the tank to the house,’ remembers Edwina. Don't select elements contrary to the farmhouse theme.
