Interior
Taking its cue from the façade, this modern home is styled in a Vibrant Graphic theme, which gives a noticeable nod to mid-century modern. The vibrant home is uncluttered and features organic and geometric forms with a vast arrange of bold colours and lots of graphics used throughout.
In the heart of the home is the open plan living spaces, encompassing the kitchen, the family room and the dining area, which all have great free flowing space between them. Throughout these main living spaces the flooring used is a modern cement looking tile from Beaumont Tiles – Rome Cement GL-Porcelain Rectified in Dark Grey colour and 600×600 size. The media room on the ground floor and the upstairs bedrooms and retreat are all carpeted for extra comfort underfoot using Carpet Call’s Elmview carpet in Earl Grey.
The home boasts a 2700mm high ceiling on the ground floor that provides a wonderful sense of openness, large windows that capitalise on the natural light and corner and double stacker doors to the outdoor areas that makes the most of the home’s rear and side outlook.

The 2400mm high stacker doors makes accessing the outdoor areas from the family or dining rooms effortless and is perfect for entertaining with great inside outside integration.

The look of the cabinetry is kept clean by having a shadow line (L shape finger pull) or push option for a streamline, handle-free kitchen.
