Simon Knee Building Project 1

BUILT TO HOST – MADE FOR COMFORT

This beautiful home is any host’s utopia. Open-plan living combined with warm, natural tones make this space inviting while maintaining its modern, luxurious finish. Featuring an open plan living area that directly opens to the outdoor poolside oasis, this home is the perfect place to entertain loved ones.

The centrepiece of the outdoor entertainment space is undoubtedly the fireplace, which has been built into the home. With the addition of the automatic louvered roof, game nights in the backyard happen year-round, rain or shine. The home itself uses steel, polished concrete and bluestone, bringing in natural materials, for a sophisticated, earthy finish.

The interior of the home is a stark contrast to its external charred timber cladding, featuring light colours, bright open spaces and warm wooden cabinetry. All metal hardware throughout the home is black, bringing in those darker, moodier tones from the charred timber, producing a refined, sleek appearance. The home also features environmentally conscious elements with the addition of solar panels and six 3000L water tanks to harvest drinking and household water.
