INSPIRED BY THE TROPICS UPLIFTING HOME DESIGN The innovative designs at Southern Resort Homes reflect Australia’s love of the outdoors resort lifestyle. They transform suburban and outer-city Victorian properties and provide an uplifting, fresh lifestyle with architecture and design common of tropical and coastal areas. Open-plan living that embraces and incorporates the outdoors is an important feature of these homes, enabling homeowners to live the outdoors lifestyle in their own resort-style home. Creative roof lines, huge expanses of glazing and strong, clean lines suit clients’ requirements, as Southern Resort Homes deliver cutting-edge design and contemporary living spaces. The company has developed a proven method with clients, allowing flexibility for personal design creativity with each project. The homes reflect each client’s individuality and are tailored to complement their particular geographical settings. Each home is integrated into its surroundings to embrace the natural environment as part of the home to be enjoyed. Great consideration is put into direction of sunlight and shade, natural breezes, protection from the elements, and taking advantage of any views the property may offer. Southern Resort Homes are boutique builders designing for eastern metropolitan Melbourne, and they build about ten homes each year. Because of this location, the company utilises modern technologies in glazing and insulation to protect from the fast-changing climate conditions experienced by the southern areas of Australia. A range of construction and design materials are combined to create a pleasing palette of textures and stunning finished projects that are functional, hard-wearing, and make an inspired designer statement. Southern Resort Homes provide the complete service for homeowners, from initial consultation and design work, through the permit process to construction and completion. Southern Resort Homes was founded in 1998 by present owner Ken Smithson, whose design received a runner-up award for Custom Built Home $200,000–$350,000 in the 2007 HIA Home of the Year Awards. Alongside the company’s resort-style designs, Ken Smithson owns and manages another division specialising in renovations and extensions under the company name KS Build. CONTACT |
