The Land

Riverstone House sits on just under four acres outside Geelong, backing onto sixty hectares of public reserve along the Moorabool River. Blasco Stuart Architects, working alongside Wright Street Design and Oak Landscape, built the house around a New Zealand farmhouse silhouette. Gabled stone forms and steel-framed glazing, brought to life by Biviano Builders.

The Floor

We supplied Diamond Bay, our 220mm engineered European oak boards from our Peninsula collection, for the home’s interiors. A rich mocha stain with bold knots and swirls, running gold-copper through deep chocolate. Set against the home’s locally sourced stone facade, this timber flooring reads less like a separate material, and more like the same language spoken twice: warm and variegated. The 220mm wide boards hold their own in rooms built around views of the reserve.
