The contemporary renovation includes full-height windows and glass doors that frame the established Monstera garden and mighty Bluegums inviting the outside indoors.The bespoke joinery and the off-form concrete bench transition from exterior to interior. Wall cladding with 3m high units and clean intersecting lines also feature a seamless window seat nestled in the dining/kitchen area. Spacious polished concrete floors have the comfort of hydronic heating in winter and cool relief in summer months. The multi-living zone family home effortlessly fuses functionality and form.
