Designed by FMD Architects for a working sheep farm on Bruny Island, Tasmania, Coopworth is a reinterpretation of the classic Australian farmhouse. The surprisingly experimental house is designed to expand – and so is its kitchen. For most of the year Coopworth caters to two people – a number swells to 20 at other times of the year. While sleeping mats in the home’s ‘internal eave’ accommodate plenty of guests, the planning of what is a relatively compact kitchen – and the way appliances are distributed, integrated and detailed – helps make the transition to different patterns of use effortless.
