Subdivided off the original allotment dating back as much as 100 years, the house sits on what used to be a vegetable garden.
Le Cateau has been designed with integrity and consideration so that it’s structure is as thought through as the aesthetic.
The materials at Le Cateau have been selected to reflect the crafted nature of the home.
The house’s identity is strongly associated with it’s striking and detailed cladding. Custom profiled iron bark battens wrap the facade in a tongue grooved and secret fixed system, each batten having been individually laid and screwed onsite.
Ensuring resources such as energy, water and materials are used efficiently by minimising and managing waste, using recycled or recyclable materials and localising procurement was a conscious decision for Le Cateau.

Windows have tradionally been viewed as a utilitarian product where a designer has designed a hole in a wall for a window to be installed into, whereas we view windows as much more than that. We view windows as the most important element in a building that has a dramatic impact on the design, aesthetics, functionality, liveability, and performance of a home.
We've always been very focused on the tupe of business we want to be and the type of busienss we want to be known for and it's this clarity that continues to drive the busienss everything day.
Regardless of where we've been throughout the journey, one thing has stood true. 'To raise the standard in the industry by giving customer unequivocal excellence in product and service, at honest prices', which has become the mission of the business.
