McLean QuinlanNestled into a hillside, this timber-framed family home enjoys uninterrupted views out across the countryside of the North Downs. A newly built property, it is an elegant fusion of traditional crafts and materials with contemporary design.
Our clients had a vision for a modern sustainable house with practical yet beautiful interiors, a home with character that quietly celebrates the details. For example, where uniformity might have prevailed, over 1000 handmade pegs were used in the construction of the timber frame.
The building consists of three interlinked structures enclosed by a flint wall. The house takes inspiration from the local vernacular, with flint, black timber, clay tiles and roof pitches referencing the historic buildings in the area.
The structure was manufactured offsite using highly insulated preassembled panels sourced from sustainably managed forests. Once assembled onsite, walls were finished with natural clay plaster for a calming indoor living environment.
Timber is a constant presence throughout the house. At the heart of the building is a green oak timber-framed barn that creates a warm and inviting hub that seamlessly connects the living, kitchen and ancillary spaces. Daylight filters through the intricate timber framework, softly illuminating the clay plaster walls.
Along the south-facing wall floor-to-ceiling glass panels provide sweeping views of the landscape and open on to the terrace.
A second barn-like volume staggered half a level below the main living area is home to additional living space, a study, gym and the bedrooms.
The house was designed to be entirely off-grid for short periods if required, with the inclusion of Tesla powerpack batteries. Alongside underfloor heating throughout, a mechanical heat recovery system, LED lighting and home automation, the house is highly insulated, is zero VOC and plastic use was minimised on the project.
Outside, a rainwater harvesting system irrigates the garden and fields and woodland below the house have been rewilded.
Intrim Group Pty LtdThis stunning French Provincial style home by Luxe Home Designs by Mimi, was Mimi and her husband’s dream, having been inspired by the style from their travels overseas. Set high on a hill in the beautiful Hunter Valley NSW with sweeping views and every detail throughout the home considered, this home is truly magnificent. Not only has it met all the desires of its owners, it won the very prestigious 2018 HIA-CSR Hunter Housing Award for Custom Built Home.
Mimi says of her design “Our design vision was to create a home for us that encapsulates warmth, character, charm, and elegance. Our design challenge was to strike a balance between the need for us to pay homage to the impeccable historical lineage of French Provincial design while still retaining the ability to effectively combine these design elements with modern day living requirements.”
To achieve the classic elegance of the French style, attention to every architectural detail must be made. Intrim’s timber mouldings were used throughout the home to help achieve the final look and add texture, style and character to the home.
Intrim SK945 skirting boards in 185mm, Intrim SK945B architraves in 90mm, Rosettes, SB01 skirting blocks, the wainscoting was made up using Intrim IN16 inlay mould and Intrim CR22 chair rail, Intrim SK945 skirting profile in 185mm was inverted and used on the coffered ceiling and Intrim CR37 chair rail was used around the curtain bulkhead in the master bedroom.
