INTERNATIONAL TRAVELLERS

DESIGNED FOR COMFORT, BUILT FOR LIFE

This client has lived in several countries, Australia now being their 8th and final country of choice to settle. Their brief to Yarrum Designer Homes was a home to reflect and bring together the many memories of the past into their forever home. Hence, several areas of the home are country specific themed and, in some instances, required creative building intervention in order to ensure the clients vision of theme and purpose could be achieved.
