In the historic village of Murrumbateman, a little-known feat of organic residential architecture sits among statuesque cedars and eucalypts, which cast glorious afternoon shadows on the soaring brick facade.
Stornoway was commissioned from the Canberra architect, Laurie Virr, a leading practitioner in the organic style, which celebrates nature and the use of natural materials. The house is set in grounds laid out by the acclaimed Sydney garden designer, Peter Fudge. This landmark and very private building is situated on a corner block, comprising 1,985m² of prime land. It is a striking Virr-designed house that has had only two owners, with the second employing Virr to carry out modifications and additions.
