ARCHITECTURAL STORYTELLING

A custom home is a rare opportunity to create something deeply personal – a space that reflects who you are, your taste, your lifestyle, and what truly matters to you. Set above the rolling hills of Victoria’s stunning Yarra Valley, this luxury residence by multi-award winning Hedger Constructions does just that. Drawing on the owners’ heritage in brass and copper craftsmanship, along with their sharp eye for design, this truly unique home incorporates materials and details that honour the owners personal story. It’s a home shaped by legacy, built for the way they live, and brought to life through thoughtful architectural storytelling.

At first glance, the classic barn style three gabled roof seems perfectly at home in the rural setting, but up close it’s clear this is anything but traditional – the exterior is a rich mix of texture and tone, folded copper panels and charred Shou Sugi Ban timber cladding sit against matte black detailing in steel and aluminium. The façade not only honours the client’s 6th generational legacy working in brass and copper but also responds beautifully to the colours and textures of the Yarra landscape, visually grounding the structure in its stunning natural surroundings.

Making an unforgettable first impression, custom made copper pivot doors at both the front and rear entrances, create a sense of arrival that feels both bold and inviting. These striking entry points also set the tone for the interiors – step inside and you’re met with a refined material palette that includes a combination of exposed brick, stone and timber finishes, perfectly balanced with just the right amount of brass to create a warm and inviting ambiance.

The attention to detail in this home is next level. Drawing inspiration from the 70’s, geometric patterns are woven throughout – from the scalloped edge of the spectacular floating timber staircase to European oak floors laid in a chevron pattern which have been unexpectedly broken up with cobblestone.

Upholstery on the banquet and window seating also nods to the era’s bold aesthetic and arches appear in mirrors, doors, architectural cut outs and openings. But the standout feature is without question a dramatic five metre high arched window that floods the kitchen and dining area with natural light and draws the eye out toward the stunning views of Mount Dandenong.

The kitchen is a rich combination of light and dark cabinetry accented with brass handles and exquisite blush and burgundy Tiberio stone which elevates the space to one of pure luxury.

Again, the geometric patterns continue with the circular burnished brass base of the island bench. Stunning Tiberio stone wraps one end of the countertop, curving seamlessly into finely crafted timber. The transition between the two materials is flawless and feels more like a piece of luxury furniture than a kitchen bench.

Another reference to the 70’s, Terrazzo plays a starring role across the home and each bathroom carries its own personality through bold use of colour and pattern.

What ties it all together however is the clarity of vision and a commitment to craftsmanship of the highest level. Curves, textures and material pairings aren’t just decorative they speak to a deeper story of home, heritage and personality and from the structural forms to the smallest joinery details, every element has been carefully considered and executed with expert precision.

Beautifully executed by Hedger Constructions, The Peach House brings together artistry, architecture and family living in a way that feels deeply personal, beautifully resolved, and full of unexpected joy.
