The use of natural materials like brick and timber ensured the house would blend seamlessly with its environment, while large gables and extensive timber joinery amplified its rustic charm.

The Outcome: "The River Retreat" materialized as a haven of warmth and natural elegance. Key features like the striking brick fireplace became the heart of the home, offering a cozy gathering place, while the strategic use of timber and glass maximized views and light, creating an immersive riverside experience.

The Three Gables

The Vision: The narrative of "The Three Gables" begins with a client's aspiration to craft a distinctive country home that harmonises with its natural surroundings. They envisioned a residence that embodies rustic elegance, using materials and designs that echo the serenity and charm of the countryside. The dream was to create a home that not only offers a retreat from the bustle of daily life but also serves as a timeless homage to traditional country architecture.

The Process: The creation of The Three Gables was a journey that required meticulous planning and a deep understanding of the client's vision. DL Ritherdon and the client collaborated closely, choosing charred ironbark timber cladding to give the home a distinguished yet natural appearance that blends seamlessly with the landscape. The design included intricate brick paving and elegant pergolas, creating an inviting outdoor space that encourages connection with nature. The use of matching brick for the subfloor and the integration of expansive timber decks with overhead roof covers were key in achieving a cohesive, outdoor-centric design.

The Outcome: The final embodiment of The Three Gables is a testament to the client's vision and DL Ritherdon's dedication to bespoke craftsmanship. The home features a symphony of dark-stained timber and brick elements, offering warmth and character while maintaining a strong connection to its country setting. The thoughtful layout, including the beautiful decks and pergolas, provides perfect spaces for relaxation and entertainment, truly capturing the essence of a country oasis.
