The Hampton Farmhouse is located on a 120 acre rural site west of the Blue Mountains near the Jenolan Caves. The farmhouse will provide weekender accommodation for a young Sydney family and was completed in 2009.
The house is located on a north facing slope and is sited to take advantage of both the distant rural views and the rolling hills and dams of the farm property. The linear pavilion follows the land’s contours and offers full northern aspect to all accommodation whilst a courtyard void adjacent to the living spaces provides a covered outdoor room.
The primary spaces lie to the north whilst the garage is housed in a second pavilion to the south, creating an entry between the two volumes.
