Barn-Style Extension with Exposed Timber Trusses

This Kilsyth property sits on a large block with rural views. The homeowners wanted an extension that reflected the semi-rural character. The design uses a steep pitched roof with exposed engineered timber trusses, creating a dramatic double-height ceiling. Full-height sliding glass doors span the entire rear wall, framing the paddock views. The floor is natural stone tile in a grey-blue tone chosen for its texture and landscape connection. A kitchen island with a timber waterfall benchtop anchors the space, with the kitchen wall behind finished in deep teal. Track lighting runs along the exposed beams for adjustable illumination.
