The Garden House by SGA is the result of the brief for a home providing greater flexibility for the client as they entered retirement.
Fitting out a home with product that encompasses Universal Design principles and pleasing aesthetics has often been seen as challenging due to perceived poor availability of suitable product choice. The Garden House brief that Universal Design be incorporated for the clients twilight years has been achieved with a great deal of subtlety by SGA.
After seeing Hewi basins on a cruise ship the client wanted the same for their new home and thus a starting point began. With the ability to provide bespoke basin sizes in additional to off the shelf options, Hewi’s composite mineral basins were selected for all bathrooms – 2 custom and the balance standard sizes. In addition, SA Plumbing Supply was able to provide load bearing slide shower and support rails from Hewi’s System 900 Collection which paired seamlessly with Quadro’s LEVO Collection of brushed stainless steel tapware & fittings. This was further enhanced with Hewi’s System 900 Accessories of soap dispensers, toilet roll holders & toilet brush units.
The simplicity, yet architectural design, of Quadro’s LEVO collection is due to the progressive mixers which operate in a 2 dimensional plane rather than the traditional 3 dimensional plane that most mixers function. The ease of use, combined with a 5* WELS Rating creates a highly efficient product that is easy to operate.
For the kitchen & laundry Quadro’s 669 Mixer w/ Pull Out Hand Shower was specified at the upper and lower sinks.
The specification of Hewi & Quadro has created a cohesive, yet aesthetically pleasing look in all spaces while meeting UD principles and not a hospital fitting in sight and one can see why builders JR Hosking Carpenters & Co were awarded Regional House of the Year Winner for the $2m-$4m Category.
