Historic carriage house guest quarters giving a new lease of life!
The carriage house guest quarters heritage restoration has recently been completed in the rural town of Adelong. Its design preserves the original 19th century building whilst giving it a new lease on life. Improving on the environmental and functional sustainability of the complex, the site plan has become and adaptable to the needs of today’s occupants. The provision of 7 fully furnished guest rooms connected by a courtyard and loggia allows for friends and family to visit and enjoy the Riverina countryside.
To bring the complex into the 21st Century, particular attention was placed on the layout of spaces, reflecting contemporary lifestyles with open plan living, creating a more intuitive flow from room to room. While interior selections maintain a historic feel, the colour schemes create a bright and open atmosphere, harmonizing the old with the new.
The historical features retained include original red bricks made from clay found on the property, providing a glimpse into what life was like for those who lived and worked on the property in 1903. The Interiors were designed in conjunction with Our Place in London and are inspired by the English Farmhouse Vernacular. Each guest space is elegantly themed with accent colours in blue, green or yellow tones. The vibrant colours have been mindfully balanced with neutral finishes and subtle nature inspired textures including the herringbone flooring, wall panelling, shaker style cabinets, furniture, and décor items. The design concept allows for personalisation, enhancing the eclectic and homely feel the clients would like to provide for their family and friends.
