This is Living

About this project

This is a home with hospitality at its heart. 

The owners of this new build enjoy regular visits from family and friends outside the region, so they wanted a home where they could entertain with ease.

That sense of hospitality was an important consideration when we collaborated with the owner, and Shannon from Rees & Rees, on this project.

The brief was for stylish, contemporary-style joinery with the warmth of timber accents. The joinery throughout the home needed to feel connected room-to-room, which we achieved through the use of consistent materials and themes.

We love incorporating natural timbers into our designs because of the positive effect on wellbeing. We believe it can reduce blood pressure and heart rate, and foster a sense of comfort and connection to nature.

A place of celebration

With guests regularly welcomed into this home, the kitchen needed to be a hub for entertaining and celebration. It was essential that whoever was doing the meal preparation and cooking could be busy in the kitchen without feeling disconnected from guests.

The ample, open plan breakfast bar was the perfect solution.

Stunning porcelain benchtops contrast with Mismatch Spotted Gum to achieve a timeless and sophisticated aesthetic. Shadow rails for handles add an elegant touch.

Joyful living

No matter where life takes you or how busy you are, there’s nothing like coming home to a space you love. Our joinery’s sleek design and warm timber tones have created an inviting home perfect for celebrating life’s special moments. The owners tell us it brings them, and their many visitors, endless joy.
