Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most effective. This sprawling family home makes the most of a sheltered central courtyard, with both the living and master bedroom opening out onto the tranquil pool with its feature tree nestled into the side.

The palette of neutral colours and finishes let the loftiness of the spaces sing.

The kitchen features Bestwood’s Rustic Planked Oak veneer stained to a chocolate-charcoal to compliment the cedar exterior. Benchtops in leathered granite and brushed stainless steel are both functional and aesthetically crisp.

The master ensuite showcases the Picadilly Muretto from Tile Warehouse, warmed with Bestwood’s Rustic Planked Oak veneer. Paired with the sharp lines of the Photon tap ware range from Robertson these bathrooms are simple and elegant.
