Hedger Constructions Project 22

A SHOWPIECE BUILDING

This showpiece Hedger Constructions home is located on picturesque Lake Nagambie in central Victoria. With a passion for mid-century modern style, the homeowners requested a spacious open- plan contemporary home with a material approach using texture and pattern to create visual interest. The house has a unique spatial organisation with three glazed courtyards pinwheeled around a large central dining and living space. This arrangement provides a link to nature for all rooms on the lower level, draws views into the centre of the house and enhances connectivity to the nearby water.

In each of the courtyard areas the homeowners can enjoy a different outdoor aspect, with one area to enjoy breakfast in the morning sun; the second featuring a built-in swimming pool, spa and Cheminees Philippe double-sided fireplace; and the third courtyard presenting a waterfront deck with a servery from the kitchen, plus inbuilt BBQ, bar fridge and a retractable roof awning.

Internally the home is U-shaped and bathed in natural light. The expansive central dining room is the centrepiece of the property, with double-glazed windows and large sliding doors merging the inside and outside. Exposed aggregate concrete floors flow throughout the lower level, whilst rendered exposed masonry blocks contribute a soft matte texture to the home.

The kitchen features state-of-the-art appliances with in-built refrigerators, freezer, steam ovens, and induction cooktops, in addition to filtered and sparkling water on tap. Tasmanian blackwood cabinetry lines the full length of the kitchen, creating an elegant natural feel, with an amazing Bianco Macaubas stone benchtop completing the look.

In the main lounge the double-sided wood heater sits upon a decorative polished concrete heath which extends into the external outdoor deck area, creating stylish window seating beside the fireplace both internally and externally
