An expansive contemporary farmhouse for three generations, unfolding across the land to balance connection, privacy and light.

The Thornlands Homestead is a contemporary farmhouse designed for a multi-generational family, extending horizontally across the site to sit calmly within its landscape. The design is led by daily life rather than formal expression, with a carefully resolved plan that balances shared living with individual privacy.

Clear zoning separates communal and private domains, while courtyards, covered walkways and outdoor rooms reconnect them through landscape. The architecture remains deliberately restrained—low rooflines, grounded materials and controlled sunlight create a calm, enduring environment where indoor and outdoor living are seamlessly connected.

Defined by proportion, clarity and longevity, the Thornlands Homestead is an architecture shaped around real family life, quietly embedded within its environment.
