Careful design work was required to fit this 287sqm split level home on to a challenging triangular section within flood-management restrictions. Space has been maximised and every detail considered to ensure compliance and functionality. The front entry roofline and soffit detail presented notable challenges, with intersecting roof planes and tight angles, requiring precise set-out and meticulous framing for a crisp finish. Externally, aluminium cladding pairs with Roman brick, blending contemporary and traditional materials, while detailed brick gables enhance street appeal.

Decking spans the full length of the home, divided by a glass breezeway which connects the living spaces to garage. Multiple entrances and entertaining areas enhance functionality and outdoor flow, while providing shelter from a Canterbury easterly. Crazy pavers and integrated planter boxes soften the outdoors and provide interesting view points from inside. Internally, the 5.5-metre vaulted ceiling is a standout feature in both the formal and family living areas. Custom triangular windows with transoms and mullions compliment the ceiling line and flood interiors with natural light. Another striking focal point of the open-plan space is the kitchen, with full-height cabinetry and a quartz waterfall benchtop. Elsewhere, floor-to-ceiling tiled bathrooms bring a refined finish to the four-bedroom wing of this beautiful residence.
