Down to Earth In Wagga Wagga
Michael Bell Architects created the romance of an early settler’s farmhouse on this busy Wagga Wagga farming property with stunning results.
Wagga Wagga Farmhouse
The original home on this busy beef cattle and sheep farming operation in southern NSW was demolished, and only the original brick chimney was retained. During the demolition architect Michael Bell noticed the rich local earth, which later became his colour inspiration.
A colour inspired by earthly riches
The colour, Porter’s Oxblood, was inspired by the rich red earth discovered during building works, and was created in the Porter’s factory at Mascot by our expert colourists
Dust to Dust
Not only is the colour beautiful, but practical too, as the inevitable dust blowing onto the house is never visible due to the colour match to the local soil.
Living Room
Interior designer Michele Bell chose Porter’s Eggshell Acrylic in Milk Chocolate for the walls of this beautifully proportioned living room.
Dining Room
The dining room was painted with Porter’s Eggshell Acrylic in Calm Green for a richly coloured designer matte finish.
Porter's Eggshell Acrylic is used throughout the house, the very low sheen level is an elegant contrast to the high gloss of the doors and trim areas.
