HOUSE 8 - Bonnie's Dream Home

Bonnie's Dream Home is a sprawling five-bedroom home with guest cottage and barn, located on five acres with a tennis court and pool in Sydney's Hills District. Bonnie purchased the home five years ago, knowing it needed a major renovation - the perfect opportunity to build a forever home for her family.

The vision for the home was a modern coastal barn - the perfect combination of coast and country. Inspired by Bonnie's love of the coast, childhood holidays spent by the beach, and New Zealand barn-style properties. To achieve the modern coastal barn vision, Three Birds Renovations chose Linea™ Weatherboard to bring the coastal and country looks together. "The Linea™ Weatherboard was really the crucial product in bringing the coastal and country looks together. It's a material used in both these styles of houses, so my coastal weatherboard inspiration doesn't look out of place in my country setting", says Bonnie.

The modern coastal barn look was further brought to life through well-considered interior details - high ceilings, pitched roofs, and natural wooden floors. Bonnie says Axon™ Cladding was the perfect product to create texture and interest to interior walls, ceilings and fireplaces.
