The entrance leads to a full view of the river with frameless glass stacking doors that open to the sky & external deck

overlooking the view. The clients wanted to use contemporary lines & forms & make the house as natural as possible

with a seamless integration into the surrounding landscape.

The house has three levels, each level having a rear balcony to embrace its biggest asset: the view. The top floors

consists of the bedrooms with a large open plan centre housing the kitchen, living, dining rooms as well as an extensive

outdoor space. With the land falling at the rear of the property, the pool acts as an intermediary step between the

entertainment levels.

Natural tones & colours were used throughout the full exterior & interior creating a minimalistic, open plan with nothing

detracting from the view. The expansive open floorplan uses long unbroken lines to contribute to the contemporary

aesthetic. Kitchen finishes matches the cabinetry to the living room & external areas & uniform wall tones also draw the

space together. Lighting & floor coverings demarcate areas of use.

Glamourous caesarstone benchtops throughout

blend seamlessly into the neutral colour scheme,

teamed with crisp white cabinetry and modern

bathroomware.

Cleverly combining a mixture of modern & elegance

this house is a simple background to relaxed living.

Situated in the eastern suburbs of brisbane, nearing a nature reserve, this low set four bedroom residence oozes style.

Timber cladding was used to external soffits to entry and terrace to add interest to the fresh, clean external scheme and

complementing the modern interior.

Inside, a short hall leads from the front door before the house expands into an open plan living/dining area that marries

with a covered outdoor terrace evoking an unmistakable relaxed mood. A backdrop of dulux natural white sets the tone

for an effortless and casual open plan space.

A contemporary edge was achieved through the incorporation of the paved

outdoor entertaining areas, extending the courtyards functionality.

From the street the image presented by this multi residential development

is of modest informality. Fenced but not enclosed, hidden but unobscured,

unyielding in the strict geometry of its elements yet softened by informal

planting. Elegance in it’s simplicity, the low level residential development

is grand in its construction and architectural planning. Shades of white and

grey but warm & neutral in colour, and closed but hinting at its open

architectural planning. Many of the established trees were preserved which

as well as maintaining the traditional streetscape, also acted to soften the

transition from new to old.

LEAF CHAIR The Leaf chair is a stylish and versatile piece.

sitting organically in it’s surroundings. Constructed in solid

steel rod, it is available in a range of finishes from bright

chrome, to a selection of powdercoat colours. Able to be used

inside or out, it’s a great addition to office or home, especially

in the vibrant green finish!

Constructed using environmentally-friendly practices it is able to

be put on almost any surface, flat or curved. Available in a range of

colours, including the new trilogy range, it can be custom cut to any

size. An environmentally chic surfacing option.

LULU TABLE The Lulu table designed by Norman + Quaine

is stylishly reminiscent of mid 20th century design. Available

in a variety of geometric designs, our favourite has to be the

retro yellow design. Produced locally, with patterned laminex

on a marineply top and a black powdercoat base.
