The beautiful essence of Benowa Waters allowed owners, Martin and Dina Kenins the opportunity to create a stunning home like no other. Focusing on both functionality and aesthetics, this bold, modern high-end home by Reece Keil Design, reveals a high level of attention to detail and a refined selection of materials. It commands attention from passer byes and is a visual treat of awe and wonder.

The Lakehouse was designed to maximise the northern aspect and protect itself from the west. Bretts Architectural Window Solutions worked with the owners, architect, and builder to protect internal living areas from varied sun angles coming from the western canal frontage.

“The colours on the water and in the sky change constantly depending on the weather and the time of day,” says Martin. The ability to capture each colour change without interruption lead Martin and Dina to go with the Series 704 SlideMASTER™ Sliding Door. It was installed as a cavity slider, so the panels slide into the recess within the wall, for unobstructed views.

Maximising sliding door widths allowed the house to connect fully with the elements. The highwater resistance rating also made it ideal for the exposed west facing canal frontage.

Should future owners want to add a screening solution, the Series 704 SlideMASTER™ Sliding Door provides integration that maintains the aesthetic without having to retro fit a system to suit. The result is an award winning high-end home. Winner: AGWA National People’s Choice Award 2022.
