In Victoria’s Yarra Valley, Kirsten Tibballs, a pastry chef and TV presenter, along with her family, resides in an off-grid contemporary farmhouse called "Aberdeen." The property spans 126 acres of land and was designed by Alexandra Buchanan Architecture using reclaimed timber and local stone. The house follows the natural landscape to minimize excavation while maximizing views. The kitchen features a generous island bench finished in Veneto porcelain, serving as the heart of the home for baking and entertaining guests. Future plans include expanding the lower level to create additional spaces like a theatre, rumpus room, and cellar.
