Dunmore House

No I haven't done more
Dunmore House is the key architectural influence to our design for our home.

Some things are timeless and others, well lets just say there ephemeral.

In Australia we call this style colonial, that is a vague time from before 1901 (what we term Federation) and back to white settlement. Heavily Georgian in appearance, but toned down to use locally available materials and labour.

Essentially a Georgian Cube with an Australian wrap around veranda for the heat!

Typical Georgian House

There are a few key features that we are looking to include in our house.
The front door, typical of Georgian houses, side lights and transom. I want it tardis blue! (read white - yes Liiiii zaaaa)
Double hung windows, and glazing bar, steep hip roof, Concave verandah.

Here is my REVIT drawing as it stands tonight. It's missing a few details at the moment but you get the idea.
