Modern Acreage Transformation in Myocum

This 1980s brick home, set on a stunning acreage in Myocum, underwent a five-month renovation and addition, designed by Matt Baird at Style Agenda. The vision for the project was to enhance functionality and capture the breathtaking surroundings, with key objectives including:

– A walk-in robe off the master bedroom
– A new front veranda for enhanced street appeal
– Unobstructed views from the living area
– A rear deck extending off the living room
– The enclosure of an existing veranda to create additional interior living space
– A thoughtfully integrated pool area

Architectural & Design Challenges

One of the standout features of this project was the construction of a large, custom load-bearing in-situ window spanning the entire length of the living room. Due to its size and complexity, achieving this required carefully propping the existing roof while building the structure in place. The result is a breathtaking architectural statement that floods the space with natural light and maximizes the surrounding views.

Additional standout features include:

– Spotted Gum extension off the main bedroom—an unplanned but highly valued addition, further opening up the home to its stunning outlook
– Concealed front door, seamlessly integrated into the Spotted Gum cladding for a sleek and modern entrance
– Strategically placed openings in the eaves and veranda roof, ensuring natural light was not compromised
– Custom-built external sliding door for the main deck, crafted on-site with meticulous attention to detail
– Fiberglass pool, elegantly surrounded by travertine coping and tiled surfaces, blending seamlessly into the landscape

This thoughtfully designed renovation successfully balances contemporary luxury with rural charm, delivering a home that is both visually striking and highly functional.
