The grand entry, soaring to over 6m, is matched perfectly by the sweeping timber and wrought iron staircase while the downstairs interior features 3m high walls and porcelain floor tiles to create a cool, sophisticated ambience.
Throughout the home there is an abundance of windows, many framed by pristine white, plantation-style timber shutters, as well as seamless curved glass windows on the upper and lower levels to admit water views and contribute to the sense of light and space.
Careful use of colour creates interest, defines spaces and creates mood.
Splashes of colour appear throughout, such as the warm lavender in the kitchen, formal lounge and family area or the delicate pink and soft green hues of the feature walls in the entrance and master bedroom.
A combination of textures throughout the home creates an impeccable finish.
