Looking for a style-filled modern house that offers something a little bit different? This three-bedroom show home does exactly that. Clever and subtle use of colour, including green feature walls and floor-to-ceiling tiles in the family bathroom, combine with timber tones to enhance the home’s natural aesthetic and give a nod to the landscape. Clever use of dark joinery in selected areas provides a striking contrast against the neutral palette and helps define the various living areas.You’ll find raking ceilings throughout the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. Instead of splashback, the kitchen has a window looking out to a living wall. There’s a generous scullery for all those must-have appliances, an island bench and plenty of storage. Sustainable materials have been used to great effect in this house – natural wool carpet, an attractive Tasman pine ceiling in the kitchen-dining area, and Japanese vertical cedar on the exterior. To make working from home easy, a study nook with inbuilt desk and storage, made from locally grown Victorian Ash, is handy to the living area. This family home, designed to maximise its 182sqm footprint, has all the hallmarks of quality, plus a raft of designer extras that elevate it into the ranks of special.
