Surrounded by large fields, Casa di Campo is a modern farmhouse that responds to the landscape and offers an oasis-like lifestyle for its owners. Located in Werribee South, Victoria, where homes are spaced out by green fields and red dirt landscapes, the family of second-generation market gardeners requested a modern farmhouse. Responding to the client’s brief, Neil Architecture built a home with inward facing courtyards, a private garden space and a pool that the family could find reprieve in. Whilst a calming residence from the inside, Casa di Campo appears as a solid monolithic form that stands out from nearby farming houses.
Once inside, the house tour first reveals a lush green garden that is designed like a Roman courtyard. With a portico that runs along two sides, the pond traditionally included is instead a swimming pool. Acre also installs cut granite boulders as stepping stones that become a major aspect to the garden’s function. Following a short passage leads into the family living rooms, which have been divided by a large centre fireplace. With no white walls featuring in the interior design of the modern farmhouse, the architects have used textures throughout to provide a unique aspect to the home. The floor is also distinct, appearing as one poured slab with smooth edges and a fine aggregate finish that the clients have fallen in love with.
Separate from the living zone, the children’s bedrooms offer a view through the colonnade and into the garden, giving them ample space to play and enjoy the modern farmhouse. At the eastern end of the home, the main bedroom holds a small private courtyard that invites in the morning sun and offers a space for the parents to unwind and enjoy. Putting together material elements of the modern farmhouse, the architects employed rammed earth for its warm pale tone and unique interior experience. Alongside the rammed-earth architecture is timber wall panelling, Quartzite stone in the kitchen and bathrooms and a green elemental tone within the bathrooms and hallways that helps to sooth the interior features of the modern farmhouse.
Although set among the fields, where the brown rich soil and the bright greens mix harmoniously, the residence separates itself from the working environment and becomes its own destination. Taking on architecture, interior design and styling, Neil Architecture turns a family home into a pleasantly surprising paradise with an exterior that provides no clues as to what is inside.

I've seen a lot of TLP but this has to be the best edited video on the channel for sure. Super cool effects + transitions, not to mention the great shot choices and overall 'flow' of the video (which I think has been occasionally lacking with other uploads). Incredible job!
What a beautiful home. Love how it opens out inside out especially in such a rural setting. Hats off to the architect and builder!

We agree!
The spaces in this house are so beautifully curated and with the internal courtyards and green spaces this house could almost fit anywhere! Another great local project! ♥
I'd love to see the inner garden fully mature, when trees grow up and you have this lush green heart of a bunker-style house. I wonder if the tree tops will be higher than the walls and people from outside would look and wonder what's inside that fortress-like home. It was interesting to learn that the family didn't want to stare at the fields because it's "work".. to me they soil and the green where very beautiful but I get how they didn't want to see it all day long. The architect did a great job adhering to the brief of the client and yet allowing nature in.
yoowwwww the sound selection, the editing, and just over all video quality in every episode is just excellently crafted! especially the music choices! good job to who ever made this video!
1 Stunning design n materials 2 That Editor is top notch 3 Love this channel !
I love the material colors, everything goes so seamlessly together.
When I stumbled on The Local Project and Hunting for George, it was like finding Dwell and Wallpaper magazines for the first time back in 1999!! Absolutely LOVE the production value and the indepth story of the homes and architects/designers and locations every single time!! I may not always like the homes, which is rare, but the effort put into the production shows a real love OF architecture, and that's what matters!! Thank you for bringing that textural feeling of Dwell's magazine covers (those that understand the texture of their magazine covers understand what I mean), to life! It truly drives me to want to continue my career in architecture here in the states daily!!!
The Local Project videos are works of art, so beautifully presented and such beautiful homes. They are a feast for the senses. I enjoy them so much and find them very inspiring. Thanks to all who work to put them together!
Impressive! The fact that you are able obtain that level of craftsmanship in a rural area had to one of many challenges you had to overcome. From what I have observed viewing many of your Local Project videos, Architectural excellence is a given. Hats off to the owners for building a house like that in rural (farming community).
Who knew that a beautiful home like that would be built in the middle of the farm?!? So cool! Thanks Local Project 😎
Watching your videos helps form the best part of my day!

So glad to hear Julie! 🙂
Stunning house. Love the rammed earth
No words. Absolutely stunning.
Finally a property on this channel that is not a federation cottage with a humongous modern, flat roofed extension stuck on the back filling the garden.
The interior design is wonderful!
the sudden cuts end hectic effects made me leave 70s in
A stunning oasis... just what was intended
Utterly enjoying The Local Project

Dare you to take a drink every time he says beautiful

My first thought, looks like a warehouse.

Nice interior color scheme. Cool kitchen👍 Also nice colonnade & gardens. But WOW...from the road the exterior looks like an Amazon distribution center😕

that's where the inner courtyard comes in handy.
First of all, love the local project. These homes both inspire and depress me because I know I'll never be able to attain them... question though, how much do these houses go for? Is there somewhere online we can read about their sale prices or the cost for construction/renovation? On the off chance I move to Australia haha
Kindly let us download the video its nice watching them again
interesting!
How much did it cost to build this home? So lovely
I shit you not... I have been designing a house almost exactly like this for my family. Stabilized Insulated Rammed Earth, tinted grey instead of the typical red that is associated with Rammed Earth. Roman courtyards... I want it on 20-40 acres to start a market farm... literally the whole deal... It's insane. Though I want soapstone countertops not quartz.
Casa de campo me gusta por su discreción exterior y su orden. Su interior reproduce el exterior. Pero es demasiado perfecta y le falta vitalidad.
Oooohhh sponsors nice
LOVE IT‼️

Another great one! I'd love to get your feedback in one of my videos - Project Kleinburg. Your style is inspiring!
Easy to make greate design in warm climate but try to make same in the cold climate like in Russia or Norway
how much?
Wondering how rammed earth would hold up in an earthquake.
😍
Turns out I wanna be a farmer when I grow up
At 2:25, I am OBSESSING over this shot! How did you do it?
It’s a shame they didn’t utilise the local soil for the rammed earth walls. It would have anchored the home to the land. Feels soulless. Still lovely.
This house is as exciting and dynamic as the architect who is narrating this episode 🤦♂️.
Where's the Brazilian Portuguese subtitles???
The structure looks like a luxury prison to me; so much concrete and steal makes the home appear stiff and drab... but I do like the simple aesthetics of the earthy color palette inside. I would have preferred to soften the structure with more wood and some variance in the exterior angles so that it didn't appear like a cold dark box. Just my two cents.
Apparently, farmers aren't poor anymore.
the music really annoying
Respond to surrounding landscape? That is the disastrous landscape the desert, sorry about that ,
Looks beautifully built but …. Bland!!
No me gusta que parezca que está rapeando con la música. Con lo bonita que es la casa, lo estropea esa forma de hablar.
looks like a prison
Aren’t you guys concerned in the environmental impact of these concrete buildings ?

rammed earth is more environmentally friendly than concrete
Music ruins the video.
do they have a client facing rep? ffs
Usually I love the editing/pace of your videos but the shot at 0:57 really threw me off. Please be more conscious of things that could be triggering for epileptics.
The clients Anthony & Lisa.......Second generation MARKET GARDENERS!!! 1:10 ??? Seriously! MARKET GARDENERS can now afford to build HUGE MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR houses these days!! OK...........shakes head!!

Not sure what is confusing to you? It’s a combination of rich farming land, hard work and good planning that has been very fruitful for generations. Werribee Sth may not look like Sth Yarra but is as affluent.

@@louiepup1982 Yeah sure.......'Hard Work' thats what it'll be! Or maybe the clue is in the fact that he said they are 'second generation' Market Gardeners! Which implies to me that the 'First Generation' has now passed away....... And the 'Second Generation' is now selling off the farm bit by bit in order to buy themselves nice things!! But yeah, it could also be all of their 'hard work' selling potatoes & cabbages that's paying for their multi-million Dollar house!
