Space to explore
Soaring ceilings, clerestory windows and a seamless link with the
outdoors enhance the light, airy interior of the new
Durham show home by Landmark Homes
It’s not particularly easy to pinpoint the
most important design feature of a family
home, but “welcoming” has to be near the
top of the list.
For that is one of the first things to
capture the attention of visitors to the new
284.7m2 Landmark Homes Durham show
home in Hamilton.
The design team have made sure that
the minute you pass through the portico
entry and into the home you are enveloped by a sense of space and light. With

living area, and clerestory windows over
large bifold doors, the interior is flooded
with natural light. And because entertaining is part and parcel of family life, all the
living spaces flow seamlessly to the outdoors, where a large pergola shelters an
alfresco living area.
The kitchen, also, is geared toward
family life. It is positioned to provide
views across the family area to the outdoors. Special features include a long
island, engineered stone benchtops, sideby-side ovens and a large scullery.
