Blissful home base

The owners of this 288sqm build wanted their house to exude luxury and comfort, but also offer enough space for their grown family. Their vision is now an eye-catching family home with an attached minor dwelling. A striking blend of black vertical cladding and reclaimed bricks on the exterior delivers an earthy, contemporary aesthetic that continues through to the interior. One feature that commands immediate attention is the double-height reclaimed brick and steel staircase, which gives the home a refined industrial feel. Exquisite polished concrete floors flow through the entire lower level and into the minor dwelling. Wide stacker sliders between the main kitchen and living area lead to a level-entry timber deck with views of native bush. This is a perfect setting for summer barbecues and get-togethers with extended family. Elevated stud and joinery heights, plus plenty of glazing lend a feeling of space and light. The neutral palette adds to the appeal and lets features such as the staircase and quirky monochrome decor in the powder room take centre stage. You’ll also find two high-end kitchens, four large bedrooms and a separate study that demonstrate a combination of careful craftsmanship and beauty.
