Spring is a special time of the year when everything comes to life. It is also an ideal occasion to shake off the winter rust and do some much-needed work around the house. Consistently taking care of your home is a much cheaper alternative than dealing with costly repairs. Unfortunately, not every spring maintenance session is entirely issue-free.

Exterior: A concrete block structure is wrapped in a secondary timber batten skin, with the locally sourced timber creating a warm and tactile materiality that creates a subtle juxtaposition in external finishes. Interior: A focus on unique and hand-crafted finishes is evident throughout – the hand-seeded terrazzo at ground level and oak parquetry to upper levels accentuate the highly considered palette throughout the home. Exposed concrete ceilings and carefully sourced granite, quartzite and travertine provide robust yet rich surfaces, which are accentuated by flourishes of colour and a curation of playfully sophisticated furniture pieces and d contemporary abstract art
