The Westmere Barn

Background

Architectural cedar & brick design

Inspired by traditional barn forms and refined through a Scandinavian design lens, this architect-designed 350sqm home combines bold architectural presence with warm, light-filled living. Clad in cedar and brick, the two-level residence makes a striking statement from the street, while inside a palette of natural materials, oak timber flooring, soaring double-height spaces and carefully crafted details create an atmosphere of effortless comfort. At the heart of the home, expansive living areas flow seamlessly to the pool and outdoor entertaining spaces, blurring the line between indoors and out. The result is a home that feels architecturally impressive yet wonderfully liveable, balancing scale, warmth and everyday functionality.
