Media summary

‘Hinterland Sanctuary’ is a generously scaled, private holiday home crafted for relaxation and elegant entertaining within a tranquil, tropical garden.

Archer Design have created a substantial villa that the balances refined architectural expression, carefully curated fine art and bespoke detailing, all laser focussed on enhancing our client’s enjoyment of elevated holiday living.

Sensory harmony is achieved through the crafting of soaring, glazed pavilions and an ambience of effortless ease. Softly curved details feature throughout providing a serene framework to the lofty interior spaces, echoing the gentle undulating forms of the gardens and courtyards. 

Deeply toned, matte Colorbond exterior wall panels combine with natural stone cladding and polished mirrored surfaces to create a luxurious but restrained materiality to the glazed pavilions. 

Interior and exterior spaces blend seamlessly in this elegant home designed for graceful comfort and tranquil enjoyment of a quintessentially Australian lifestyle.
