Project Overview

Rural elegance with modern gable architecture and panoramic views.

Set on a generous site in Halswell, Trices Road is a single-storey home that embraces its landscape. The brief called for a home that felt grounded and spacious, with multiple living zones that could flex around family life.

The result is a 394 m² residence featuring a striking multi-gable white plaster facade with standing seam metal roofing, a cedar-clad entry portal, vaulted ceilings with concealed LED strip lighting, and an open-plan kitchen finished in soft sage cabinetry with marble benchtops and engineered oak flooring.
