TWO BARNS
CARDRONA
–
ARCHITECTURAL FEATURE
Affectionately known for it’s twin barns set perpendicular to one another, the Two Barns was designed by Space Studio as a luxury retreat and located in the historic Cardrona Valley.
Nestled into the gentle slope and across from the river at the base of the valley, the barns are situated to take in the dramatic landscape and draw on the valley’s rich gold mining history for inspiration. Each barn has a purpose with the living quarters featuring a double height open ceiling and dramatic central window at one end with a courtyard at the other. In contrast, the second barn is divided into two stories, with ample accommodation, bathrooms, drying room, media room and garage.
The lean-to structure which connects the two barns uses Clutha stone and schist in the entrance and is juxtaposed with wide oak floorboards, tile and board and batten wall linings throughout the space. Generous, cosy furnishings and soft lighting create a feeling of warmth and comfort in the expansive open-plan space.

STORY

AKIRAHO ST VILLA BY INDIGO DESIGN
A villa extension honouring a family’s Indian heritage, as well as a classic dwelling.
With the original villa having been split into two flats, the floor plan was overhauled and an extension to the back added, reinstating the home to more than just it’s former glory.
“I absolutely love villas, and this one has so many interior and exterior features that signify a time and a place. I try to honour the traditional finishes of these houses while recognising that the renovated parts are modern and can therefore be treated as such. The challenge is to make sure that the two aspects of the home feel as if they’re part of the same narrative” - Tomi Williams, Indigo Design
