Inside an Architecturally Designed Home on a Working Victorian Farm

Iver Team Architectural Hardware Specialists

A modern farmhouse forever home for a growing rural family — where warmth, craft and considered detailing meet the demands of working country life.

Nestled into the landscape of Gnarwarre in Victoria’s Western District, Radstock was designed from the ground up as a forever home; one that would grow with a young farming family, hold space for large gatherings, and hold its own against the practical realities of life on a working property. This is not a holiday home dressed up in rural costume. It is a home built to be lived in, hard. 

Layered Materiality

The interior architecture leans into texture and contrast, natural materials layered against darker accents, familiar forms punctuated by statement details. Micro cement introduces a quiet modern edge. Timber and stone bring the outside in. And throughout, the hardware becomes the connective tissue: the detail that holds the aesthetic language together across every room. 

For the door hardware and cabinetry fittings, the team turned to Iver, a natural choice for a project that demanded both design integrity and real-world durability. “Both Cam and I have been using Iver products throughout our projects for a while now,” says the interior designer behind Wright Street Design. “The quality and durability of the items is really important on a working farm.” 

The hardware selection: Iver in Signature Brass

The Iver range was selected across both door hardware and cabinetry, a deliberate decision that allowed a unified design language to carry through the home from entry to bedroom to kitchen. The fixtures strike the same balance the broader project was chasing: contemporary in form, classic in spirit. 

The finish? Signature Brass. Warm without being precious, it reads beautifully against the home’s palette of natural textures and earthy tones, adding that essential moment of warmth and personality that elevates a considered interior from merely well-built to genuinely memorable. 

In a project defined by its attention to the detail, this was exactly the kind of detail that mattered.
