Harts Farm

Overlooking a sun-bathed olive grove on the Mornington Peninsular, the Harts Farm project provides high quality ‘bed & breakfast’ accommodation as well as a commercial kitchen and dining facilities. The brief required suitability for a range of uses including cooking classes, guest accommodation, commercial food production and wedding receptions.

The new facilities sit comfortably in the farm environment, taking cues from local agricultural buildings in order to maintain a strong connection with the existing structures on site. Nevertheless, the new facilities assert their contemporary design with subtle modifications to the traditional building type.

For example, two corners of the otherwise simple form have been cut away to create a pair of defined entry spaces. Also, the careful misalignment of building and deck heightens the sense of arrival, casually revealing the olive grove views while establishing a more dynamic relationship between the building and its environment.
