wrought iron balusters in particular, are more
detailed. This fitted with Zeng’s vision for the
home to reflect hand-worked craftsmanship.”
The stained and turned timber newel posts
specified by Chancellor contribute to the home’s
traditional appeal. However, the wrought-iron
balusters between the newel posts were chosen
by the developer in three styles – plain, twisted,
and twisted with a decorative ‘basket’ in the
middle. These were installed on site in a pattern.
“We had a team of ten working on this job,
each with their own specialist trade skillset.”
Everywhere in the home there is a sense of
opulence. A large-format, floating porcelain tile
wall, with the look of marble and underlit for
drama, backdrops the Rinnai wall fire in the
living room, following Fung Shui principles.
These are only some features in a home that
has everything from a Kohler toilet seat that
remembers a user’s preferences to a garage floor
finished in a pebble aggregate that can include a
custom graphic of, say, a family name or crest.
Designed with every element considered
down to the last detail, the home’s a perfect call-
ing card for Chancellor Construction and all the
products and services involved in the project.
Facing page and top: The central
stairs are matched with a black
powdercoated finish on the wrought-
iron balusters. The circulation
feature was designed and built by
Continental Stairs. The natural wood
floors are a stand-out feature of the
Albany showhome.
Above: Even the bathroom detailing
is black, while the Kohler toilet
remembers the settings you prefer –
much like a seat in a high-end car.
