This home is best described as a "Chameleon". The external colours blend with the shadows and bushland, it's modular design flows with the contours and the landscaping shows personality and sensitivity to it's environment. The design is inspired by the owner's love of raw materials and industrial design. Key internal features include the integrated polished concrete and timber floors, concrete-formed vanities and recycled convict bricks. Externally, the river-inspired swimming pool overlooking the bushland is an absolute delight! Adding to the industrial-theme is the graffiti on the entry door and outdoor fire pit and integration of metal and matrix cladding with painted brickwork. Everything about this home focuses on lifestyle and seamless integration between the indoors and outdoors - a sun-drenched atrium greets you on entry, a picture window with metal privacy screens and tropical planting in the bathroom and views all-round from the elevated living room. Truly one with nature!
