Key Design Features

In crafting our design, we focused on accentuating key features that seamlessly blend functionality with aesthetic appeal. The striking contrast between the rich tones of the red brick exterior and the sleek elegance of the dark grey windows, creates a captivating visual dynamic, elevating the architectural character of the space. Moreover, our inclusion of a full-height window following the roofline, not only floods the interior with natural light but also serves as a bold design statement, bridging the gap between indoor and outdoor living.

Additionally, we integrated oversized rooflights into the design to further enhance the sense of spaciousness and openness within the property, as well as illuminating the interior with natural sunlight. Furthermore, our commitment to accessibility is evident in the step-free patio area, which not only provides seamless access to outdoor leisure spaces but also ensures inclusivity and ease of movement for all occupants.

Moving Inside

Stepping into the heart of the home, one is immediately captivated by the focal point of the interior; the modern shaker kitchen. Designed with a functional and contemporary feel, the kitchen boasts a spacious layout and large centre island. The sleek dark blue units exude sophistication, offering ample storage space while adding a touch of bold elegance to the ambiance.

Adding to the allure of the space, feature copper lights suspended above the island illuminate the kitchen with a warm, inviting glow.

Moreover, the seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living is exemplified by the choice of sandstone flooring, which gracefully extends from the kitchen to the outdoor patio area. This continuity of materials blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces, creating a harmonious flow that invites exploration and relaxation alike.
