Federation Home Design FAQsÂ
What is a Federation-style home?Â
Federation homes are a classic Australian architectural style popularised between the 1890s to 1910s. It is Australia’s unique take on the Edwardian style, a British architectural style that was prominent up until 1915. Despite its classic roots, the Federation design makes up a significant number of newly built Australian houses, showing its timeless appeal.
A Federation style house consists of a blend of classic European architecture and the Australian lifestyle, exhibiting elements related to Australia’s local flora & fauna as well as traditional architectural features such as asymmetric gable roofs, large verandahs and decorative timber features.
What is the difference between an Edwardian and Federation home?Â
An Edwardian home is similar to a classic Victorian home, popular in the mid-to-late 1800s, but flaunts less ornate features with a brighter use of colours. The Federation home is a further variation of this. Similar to an Edwardian home, a Federation style house draws inspiration from Victorian architecture but includes elements that cater more closely to the Australian lifestyle, such as large external verandahs.Â
What modern elements suit a Federation home?Â
The versatility of the Federation style means that it can effortlessly encompass a broad range of modern comforts.
We’ve built Federation style homes with a diverse range of additions and customisations to fit modern Australian lifestyles. From adding in a whole new room such as a home theatre to more subtle changes like incorporating resort-style bathrooms and soft close drawers, modern Federation style homes offer ample choice for customisation.
