“Moody textures, metallic hints and strong
woodgrains give the home a grounded, solid
feel – all within a clean, open design,” she says.
This is also an entertainer’s home, with
the long living area opening up on both sides
to outdoor living areas through wide-opening
stacker doors. No matter the wind direction,
there’s always sheltered indoor/outdoor living.
The home has a huge kitchen with open scullery
– an overseas trend now popular here.
Custom built-in cabinetry is designed to
serve individual spaces, ensuring the spacious
interiors always look their pared-back best.

“The Industrial Rustic home merges a rugged
charm with cosy living and lots of heart,” she says.

Industrial Rustic show home has a
cosy, rugged appeal. For example,
the living area floor tiles have a dark
metallic wash, while the 100% wool
carpet has a ribbed, hand-stitched
look. There are two living spaces, an
open-plan kitchen with scullery,
dining and family room, a media
room and two outdoor living areas.
The three-bedroom home also boasts
a separate laundry and an office
nook. The master suite opens to a
private spa garden.
