The brief

Drawing from their past experience with Carter Grange, this client approached us with a well-defined vision, recognising the limitless potential offered by custom single dwelling designs.

With acreage secured, the initial brief beautifully intertwined architecture with artistry, showcasing soaring ceilings and expansive windows that framed the breathtaking landscape. Hoping for a clear distinction between work and play, the design dream focused on a seamless integration with the natural contours of the land.

Our Process

The mutual trust fostered during our previous collaboration enabled us to transition from vision to delivery in a swift 12-month timeframe. Initial discussions established a strong foundation for the custom home build, with our client confident in the skills of our Carter Grange design team to refine their vision and deliver each phase of the project.

 

With no architectural constraints, we were able to explore bold design possibilities that truly celebrated the client’s ideas and the expansive acreage setting; an exciting prospect when designing custom single dwellings. While securing approvals through the Town Planning process was challenging, our Carter Grange planning team worked closely with the client to fulfil all requirements in a timely manner, leading to a smooth and hassle-free experience.

Bringing the Brief to Life

Dared to deliver a modern barn-style home, the build and design process was characterised by great creativity and a clear client vision, focusing on maximising natural light while incorporating raw natural elements and capitalising on the view. Working to achieve this, the custom single dwelling incorporates expansive glazing, varying ceiling heights, and a selection of natural finishes.

 

Our client approached us with a variety of desired features, including a dedicated mudroom/drop zone, a separate gym and theatre, a cellar connected to the rumpus room with city views, and a central kitchen designed for large-scale entertaining. With total design flexibility, we managed to incorporate all of the above, while still maintaining a configuration that feels both fluid and intentional.

By delivering the amenity-rich lifestyle the client desired, we crafted a single-storey home design that feels both timeless and as if it has always existed in its surroundings.

The level of ongoing support – you didn’t leave at the completion of the build and owners are not left to their own devices.

It’s a great customer experience, you followed up, completed maintenance items after build completion and made it a very easy process throughout the maintenance stage. Plus maintenance manager was amazing – supportive, very well organised, responsive, and consistently kept us updated.

We had an outstanding experience building with Carter Grange, starting with a smooth and collaborative design process that set us up well for the build.

Once construction began, Clint supported us through the early stages with professionalism and clear communication, giving us confidence as we moved toward framing. From framing through to hand-over, Damien guided us with exceptional attention to detail, consistent updates, and a genuine commitment to quality. His transparency and reliability made the entire journey stress-free, and we always felt informed and supported.

From start to finish, the experience with Carter Grange has been incredible. From our very first meeting, they listened to our wish list and truly brought our vision to life.

The team’s communication, care, and patience made such a difference, especially as it was our first build. Everything was so well organised and ready to go before construction began, which gave us complete confidence throughout.

Even after settlement, nothing has ever been too much trouble. Everyone we dealt with was warm, professional, and genuinely passionate about what they do. We couldn’t be happier with our beautiful home and the wonderful experience along the way. Highly recommend!
