A sprawling farmhouse that is a cohesive expression of the people who inhabit it and the unique sense of place that characterises the Kiamba Valley.

Location: Kiamba Valley, Sunshine Coast Hinterland, QLD
Located in the Sunshine Coast Hinterlands, the Kiamba Valley Farmhouse draws from the site's history of cattle farming, to create a dwelling that celebrates the traditional vernacular of the Queensland farmhouse while anchoring itself harmoniously amid the rolling hillside.
The sprawling ‘outhouse’ style pavilions, characterised by meticulous craftsmanship and robust construction, lay the groundwork for the residence's future narratives. After residing in the on-site cottage for an extended period, the owners recognised the need for a more expansive home to accommodate their growing family, while strategically elevating the different and somewhat undiscovered vantages of the property they have always known. The choice to maintain a sense of the traditional with the new resulted in a home that combines a sense of people and place.
