In this instance, the term ‘builder’s own home’ means more than just the fact he constructed his 211sqm house. He also completed the subdivision of the section and drew on seven years as a draughts person to design his family home. He also designed the kitchen and wardrobe systems. He shared the interior design tasks with his partner. And the landscaping? Yes, he did that, too. This four-bedroom, three bathroom residence has strong lines and is designed to be low maintenance. It was also created for easy living, and one look inside the tasteful interior tells you that has been achieved. Open the doors from the dining and living space and suddenly the area becomes a whole lot bigger. Sliders blur the line between inside and out, especially when you can step directly out to a concrete patio. The double garage has plenty of room for the cars, but was designed to double as a hangout for the family’s teens. With polished concrete floors, acoustic insulation, a TV and sofas, it’s a smart idea that has been smartly executed. This home is a showcase for the builder’s many skills.
