A sprawling 1880s homestead in rural NSW has been transformed into a sustainable, design-savvy home by Luke Maloney Architecture. Embracing the home's historic past and looking to the future, we focussed on enhancing the traditional features of the home by juxtaposing shapes and lived-in textures with an antique colour palette.

"Architectural lighting and high-tech appliances create a fresh contrast
with the original stuccos, bringing into dialogue the charm of the home's history, with the rigour of modernity."
Built in 1880 for an important farming family, 'The Estate', as it is known today, was once the heart of a large farm made up of stables, vegetable gardens and cultivated fields, housing the workforce and even a general store intended for the sale of basic necessities to European settlers in the area. Belonging to the same property for more than a century, it was acquired by a young couple with two children who longed for a life away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The company to renovate it, make it habitable and transform it into a sustainable home, was entrusted to architect Luke Moloney.
