Built Without Compromise

A Canterbury lifestyle home with room for everything that matters: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a home office, and a triple garage with mezzanine across 350m². The exterior sets the tone immediately. Aged brick cladding, feature charred timber and black corrugated iron roof lending the property its rural, farmhouse character, while the triple garage makes a striking street presence. Inside, a soaring plywood cathedral ceiling with exposed timber purlins, a mezzanine level with black steel mesh balustrade, and a built-in laundry create a space that works as hard as its owners. Inside the home, the same warmth carries through. Plywood vaulted ceilings with dark king post trusses run through the open plan living areas, anchored by a freestanding black wood burner and polished concrete floors. The kitchen is a centrepiece: navy blue shaker cabinetry, a Bosch freestanding gas range, exposed brick feature wall, brass fixtures, and a butler's pantry that keeps the bench clear. Outdoor living was equally considered. A covered alfresco pavilion with exposed timber gable beams, three skylights, infrared heaters, and a hot tub extends the living space well beyond the walls of the home. The master suite completes the picture, with a custom walk-in wardrobe in full-height timber joinery and an ensuite featuring a freestanding soaker bath and frameless glass shower.
