Greenery, greenery and more greenery - and the judges were smiling before they’d even stepped outside. The lush landscaping, timber decking and battened patio ceiling created a natural, inviting welcome that felt perfectly in tune with Daylesford. “It’s stunning,” said Marty, while Darren reminded everyone, “These are garden homes - and a very important part of the Daylesford landscape.” 

Emma and Ben delivered a showstopper! Their façade blends striking dark timber with crisp lines and a modern Australian edge that feels right at home in Daylesford. The Sentinel wall light adds that perfect final touch - a warm, welcoming glow that makes the whole exterior come alive at night.

Britt and Taz’s façade brought a refined take on modern farmhouse style, with white cladding, timber detailing and corrugated roofing creating a mix of charm and structure. While the judges wanted to see more greenery, they appreciated the strong architectural balance and confident execution.
