This home was designed with clever use of space in mind while keeping a jaw-dropping style, no matter where you are in the house. The kitchen is inviting, spacious and full of natural light. You will find a generous hidden pantry and coffee bar in it too.

The flow in this home is so natural that is feels like it was perfectly thought through. The family has its space to retreat to, so that each member enjoys some alone time, and it is also designed to bring the family together. The aesthetics are also congruent; it all works so well together. It’s truly a calm and serene place to be!

There are four main aspects to the home that became Art & Stone Group’s favourite elements. One of these is the kitchen, as it has soft and beautiful details and yet is full of storage. The kitchen isn’t heavy to the eye, it has soft and beautiful details yet, and is full of storage to maximise it’s usage. As a family with 3 young boys it was important to make this communal area both calming and functional. The designers had master cabinet makers work on all the cabinetry in the home. The warm, modern, bright and airy interiors are completed with a mild traditional touch –this design scheme for the whole property is embraced in the kitchen.

This neighbourhood has some more traditional homes, and Art & Stone Group think that the architectural design of this home was done perfectly, in order to stand out but still offer a cohesive look within the neighbourhood. The dramatic peaks give it a more prominent feel, but the light and bright colours used for the exterior finishes make the home approachable and grand.
