Interior architecture and design practice Studio Griffiths, has completed the interior renovation of a modern farmhouse in Australia.
Located on a quiet hillside in the idyllic Victorian town of Main Ridge, the modern country house is casual, sophisticated and livable, merging the form of a traditional farmhouse with clean contemporary lines.

Stepping inside, the double-height ceilings in the open plan interior contribute to the sense of spaciousness, while floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows offer a strong connection to the outdoors, and frame views of the surrounding farmland.

In the living room, natural materials and textures are combined with earthy dark-stained furniture and charcoal accents.

In the kitchen, there’s a new 9 foot (3m) central island with a black stone countertop and wood paneling, that also strongly contrasts the crisp white cabinets on the wall behind it.

There’s also a home office that continues with the black and white color palette. A black accent wall complements the black shelving and window frames.
