Stealth 2.0
An evolution in form and feeling.
The mind of a dreamer is never still. After living in our first barn house and experiencing the joy it brought, we felt compelled to create its refined counterpart - a home that honoured the essence of the original while elevating every detail.
We were drawn to a quiet property in the Quindalup hinterland, nestled between forest and lush vegetation. It was a place that seemed to hold its own stillness, a rare kind of tranquility in a world that moves so fast. The air here carries the scent of salt from the nearby coast, setting the tone – calm, grounded, timeless.
Once again, we engaged local building designer Lurie. Together, we reimagined the barn house into a twin-gabled form, with Spotted Gum-lined walls bringing warmth and texture, and lofty raked ceilings amplifying light and space. The northern aspect opened the home to its surroundings, inviting the landscape inside. A custom daybed, positioned to catch the northern sun, became the perfect place for quiet moments, a book in hand, the afternoon unfolding slowly outside.
The palette remained intentionally refined, ensuring every space felt coherent, calm, and deeply connected to the land it sits on.
When the current custodians purchased Stealth 2.0, the home was delivered as a thoughtfully designed architectural canvas, complete with core finishes and furnishings. Since taking ownership, they have layered the home with their own styling, and landscaping enhancements, shaping it into what is now known as The Grove - a successful holiday accommodation business.
This space was created to deliver an instant exhale: a space to reconnect with family and savour time away from the demands of daily life. A backdrop that calms the mind, celebrates the everyday, and encourages connection.
This project continues to evolve beyond its original delivery, a testament to how considered design can adapt and grow with its custodians over time.
