“It’s just nice to look at. It’s nice to come home to. It’s nice to walk up to.
It sits really nicely in the street, in that you can’t tell that this house is here until you’re out the front of it.”

The dual aspect open plan living space simultaneously provides north light and a neighbourly connection to the street, whilst also providing access to a private rear garden with shade and breeze.
The home features upgrades to interior finishes, cabinetry and wet areas including architecural polishes limecrete, timber veneers and natural stone countertops.
Bespoke stair design and detailing in collaboration with the client and builder.
““Trust was a massive part of how positive this experience was for me and my wife… I can’t speak highly enough of the trust that happens between them [the builders and Ben].””
