Strickland Residence

Residential Design & Build

This home was designed with family and entertaining in mind. A wide entry hall greets you as you open the front door, providing an ideal gallery space for your artwork and those precious family photos. The entry leads to a beautiful courtyard space which features and ornamental tree and allows dappled light in. The large open planned spaces are well connected to each other and the outdoors, whilst still allowing areas to be zoned off as required providing ultimate flexibility. The large covered outdoor entertaining area is nestled to the rear of the yard to provide protection from the south westerly winds and make it a pleasant space all year round. It is located just of the scullery and generous kitchen making entertaining a breeze. Storage was also considered here, everything has an appropriate home. From your bag and keys as you walk in the door through to your bulk food storage items. This design really allows the home to grow and adapt with your family as needs change with 4 spacious bedrooms, and a self-contained studio apartment ideal for teenagers, grandparents, visitors or as an additional living space.

Being close to the water in was only natural that the colour palette would be soft and neutral, with the timber accents being the real feature. The space is filled with abundant natural light with the orientation taking full advantage of the northern aspect. It was this desire to capture the light that inspired to yard space to wrap the side and front of the home allowing the garden to be functional and a beautiful outlook from almost all areas of the ground floor. The external colours were kept timeless, crisp white render compliments touches of black to dramatic effect. It allows the home to sit quietly behind the architecturally inspired front wall and much loved mature tree in the front garden.

A beautiful, elegant place to call home.
