'The Barn' is a boutique accommodation destination within an existing working cattle property within the beautiful Scenic Rim, 70km southwest of Brisbane. Paddock were engaged by a private client to prepare on overall masterplan for the property to cater for a new farmstay and future expansion of the property. The existing property is located within a remote area with commanding views to Flinders Peak and range to the north.
The design provides a luxurious short-term accommodation option within a beautiful rural setting, including outdoor terraces, plunge pool and entertaining spaces to relax and enjoy the commanding views.
Careful consideration of material selection and constructability was required due to the remote location of the property. Existing site materials were re-used on site where possible and new materials were selected to ensure they were affordable and easily transported to site. This includes a palette of robust materials, such as sandstone, hardwood timbers and decomposed granite, reflecting the existing character of the farm. Plant selection utilises species endemic to the area, including a mixture of hardy and robust native grasses, shrubs and canopy trees.
