Corowa Residence
Nestled in the heart of Corowa’s rural landscape, this new build by Trethowan Building redefines the modern Australian farmhouse — a home that captures the simplicity of country living while delivering the sophistication and comfort expected of contemporary design. This Corowa home represents a seamless connection between family heritage and modern craftsmanship, where each element of design reflects respect for the land and the story it holds.
The home’s form is defined by clean gable profiles and soft-toned cladding that blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment. The use of natural stone paving, grounds the structure within the landscape, providing both texture and permanence. The design approach balances minimalism with warmth, resulting in a home that feels both contemporary and timeless.
Inside, the layout promotes natural light, comfort, and functional flow. Expansive double-glazed windows capture panoramic views. Cathedral ceilings in the main living area enhance the sense of openness, while timber flooring adds texture and warmth underfoot. Every detail has been considered to ensure practicality and durability. The joinery features custom 2PAC cabinetry, tailored to each space. Porcelain benchtops offer a seamless, hard-wearing finish that complements the home’s restrained aesthetic. In the bathrooms, Brodware and Villeroy & Boch fittings add understated refinement, paired with large travertine look tiles and brushed brass tapware that provide consistency and quality throughout.
The home’s orientation optimises solar access and cross ventilation, while insulation and glazing deliver year-round comfort and energy efficiency. These elements, combined with a timeless material selection, ensure the home remains efficient and enduring for years to come.
