SOUTHERN EXPOSURE.

This article discusses the renovation of a grand 1880s homestead in southern New South Wales, Australia. The architect, Luke Moloney, was inspired by the isolated and spooky nature of the house and aimed to transform it into an elegant and contemporary home while preserving its historical charm. The renovation focused on improving thermal efficiency, creating visual connections between rooms, and restoring original features such as cornices and pressed-metal ceilings. The owners desired an elegant and unfussy style, influenced by British architecture and modern design. The renovated home now offers comfortable and spacious living spaces, guest accommodations, and a transformed service wing. The article highlights the simplicity of the finishes and the unifying color scheme used throughout the house. The owners express their love for the quiet and remote location, which offers clear night skies and a sense of calm and comfort. The renovation successfully balances modern elements with the raw beauty and history of the original house. [Extracted from the article]
