Whatever the season, this home in the Adelaide Hills never fails to impress. Set in a vineyard, it handles winter cold and blistering summer heat with ease, all the while soaking up the amazing views that are offered by expansive windows in every room. “Vigneron House had to be robust internally as well as externally,” says interior designer Alexandra Moeck of Enoki.
How did you become involved with this project and what was the client’s brief?
We were contacted by the client on referral from another client back in 2016. The concept for this new build was underway with Proske Architects and we were engaged to bring the interiors to life. Throughout the conception of this home, our client wanted to avoid having a “white house”. This steered the brief in the direction of using a broad range of materials, layered together in unexpected ways to showcase the natural elements of stone and timber.
What were the challenges of the site and how did you resolve them with your design scheme?
The home flows seamlessly with its surroundings through expansive glass windows that showcase views and thresholds that lead out onto outdoor entertaining areas. This meant that the thermal performance of the home was always paramount and was addressed architecturally in many ways, from glazing type to orientation and shading. Internally, it meant that the materials selected should age organically, clean well and work with underfloor heating. The fluctuating temperatures of the Adelaide Hills also commanded that the interior feel cool in summer (the stone floors help with this) and that, in winter, it feels cosy and inviting to sit and watch the rain clouds roll by.
Are there any particular considerations when designing a home in a regional setting such as this?
