The home is perfectly positioned within a small, sun-drenched clearing, utterly encapsulated by towering, majestic gumtrees. This unique setting dictated a design that felt at one with its environment—a sanctuary from the elements, yet intimately connected to the landscape.

The Interior: Embracing Natural Warmth

Stepping inside, the defining feature is the overwhelming sense of natural warmth created by the material palette. The interiors are lined almost entirely in plywood, creating a seamless, organic texture that wraps occupants in a feeling of comfort and handcrafted quality. This rich, timber envelope provides the perfect backdrop for the home’s striking design feature: the hardware.

A Striking Contrast: Black Matt Barn Doors

The design intention was to introduce an element of sharp, contemporary contrast against the expansive timber canvas. The choice of black matt barn door hardware proved to be the perfect design solution, adding both significant visual interest and functional elegance.

The sleek, industrial look of the matt black tracks stands out beautifully against the light, textured plywood, elevating the rustic-chic aesthetic of the home.

Key Features:

• Lounge Room Entrance: The design features a grand set of bi-parting sliding barn doors. This double-door system allows the living space to be opened up completely to the rest of the house or closed off for privacy and warmth, offering flexibility for the homeowners.
• Bedroom and Bathroom: Single sliding barn doors were used for the bed and bathroom entrances. These doors, fitted with the same sleek black hardware, contribute to the home’s seamless, space-saving design, allowing the flow of the plywood lining to remain largely uninterrupted.

The selected barn door tracks were more than just a functional necessity; they were the perfect hardware choice to add an extra element to the interior design of this Lymington home. They embody the successful marriage of raw, natural materials and clean, contemporary lines, resulting in a unique and utterly charming Tasmanian hideaway.
