Meet ‘Longfield’ - a 100 acre property just ou Meet ‘Longfield’ - a 100 acre property just outside of Mullumbimby and the location of this 1902 homestead we have been engaged to bring, with kid gloves, into the 21st century. Embodying the story of European settlement in the region, its construction was a showcase of the precious hardwoods that first brought timber cutters to the area, clearing the Big Scrub as they went and installing dairy farms like Longfield in their wake. Its wraparound bullnose verandah, dilapidated grandeur and prominent position on a north-facing grassy knoll make it a much loved local landmark that has sat empty for thirty years, rotting away due to a poor extension and box gutter. These additions will be removed as part of the restoration of the original five-bedroom farmhouse, while a new open-plan living space is constructed at the rear, facing back towards the historic building. Positioned to preserve the view of the classic front elevation from the road, the extension is articulated to clearly separate old and new. Contemporary in scale and form but echoing the original structure, the roof turns down to the east and west to protect from harsh morning/afternoon sun, while scooping up to the north to draw light deep into the plan. Outdoor terraces, pool and entertaining extend into the landscape along the western edge, with an anterior room to the east. We could not be more excited to be supporting Longfield’s brave new owner - the first outside the family in 112 years - in her heroic mission to revitalise this remnant of our local built and agricultural history.

We are honoured to be part of the team of local businesses donating services to this important project, and wanted draw your attention to the Pozible fundraising campaign underway to raise $250k by September 10.

We’re changing things up a bit here at DFJHQ and We’re changing things up a bit here at DFJHQ and trialing a four-day working week for the next couple of months! The office will still be open Monday to Friday, but we now have two teams - one out of the office on Mondays and the other on Fridays. It means slightly longer work days on the days we’re here, but will hopefully allow for better work-life balance. Anyone else out there made the jump?
