To provide an easy indoor-outdoor
flow for relaxed entertaining, the design
team introduced decks right around the
north side of the home. A large, covered
outdoor room with a gas fireplace and
skylight takes pride of place in a central
position.
“This alfresco living area can be
enjoyed through all seasons,” says Lee.
“Bifold doors open up the living area to
this deck and another timber deck that
extends out towards the view.”
The
monochromatic,
galley-style

kitchen adds further visual drama. Both
the island and base cabinets are lacquered
in white, while the overhead cabinets
have a high-gloss black lacquer finish.
There is also an adjoining scullery, and
two internal doors to the garage.
GJ Gardner Homes created a separate
guest suite for visitors. This features two
guest bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms.
Each bedroom opens to a private deck.
“We also provided flexibility in terms
of the layout,” says Lee. “There is an extra
bedroom and bathroom in the same part

of the home, and a separate media room
that can be converted to a children’s area
when there’s a full house.”
Every home designed and built by
GJ Gardner comes with a fixed contract
price and pre-agreed completion date.
