“The natural look is particularly prevalent in the
kitchen and dining room with the dining table,
cabinetry and floor all in amber-hued wood.”
Lush, dark-toned carpets provide an elegant
flooring contrast in the expansive living room.
One major standout is the 90 degree sliding
door, that effectively brings the outdoors in. This
practical feature is engineered with internal steel
reinforcements above the door to take the weight
of the top storey.
The proud homeowner says he wanted a
modern, comfortable home with a great outdoor
area as he loves to entertain guests and wanted
to be able to open the home up for that reason.
“I had a mate design the home and I took his
plans to GJ’s who have a strong reputation for
building quality homes. I trusted them fully to
realise my home design. They were great to deal
with and I wouldn’t do anything differently.”

Above left: A mix of horizontal and
vertical run cladding gives the custom
home an appealing, low-maintenance
exterior. A classic brick chimney adds
to the stand-out street presence.
Above: In the bathrooms, the use of
large floor to ceiling tiles creates a
quiet, moody ambience ideal for a
sense of escape, whether soaking in
the large tub or enjoying the walk
in shower. The home’s emphasis on
wood is continued on the vanities.
