Building a home that complements the tranquil Gidgegannup landscape was incredibly important to Naomi and her family. They wanted a property that was at one with its surroundings, while being perfectly suited to a relaxed, rural lifestyle and a big family who love coming together on social occasions.

The team from The Rural Building Co understood the brief immediately. “We chose The Rural Building Co because their designs meet the Australian rural environment, and for us that was an important thing,” Naomi said.

“We wanted a very big open-plan space; we love that big Cathedral look. We wanted the outlook. We wanted a family home that we could entertain in.”

For Naomi and her family, building with The Rural Building Co was a wonderful experience based on trust, respect and understanding.

“One of the scariest things for anybody building is having trust with the builder that you’re working with. You want good-quality work, you want quality craftsmanship.

“For us, the building process was remarkably pleasant. We had a lovely supervisor who was very attentive. It was a lovely experience.”

The end result is a warm, welcoming home that sits comfortably in the Gidgegannup landscape.

“It really is quite a beautiful welcoming space,” Naomi said.

“We love the double-sided fireplace, the big open deck for entertaining, and the little quiet space out the front for teas and coffees in the morning.

“The builders have helped us achieve our vision. We wanted a warm, generous welcoming home and that’s what they’ve given us.”
