In the serene suburb of McKenzie Hill, nestled alongside Castlemaine in Victoria, our clients envisioned crafting a tranquil retreat that embodied their personal style and complemented the surrounding bushland environment.

With open-plan living, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms, the Shoreham 14 design was the perfect layout for our clients. 

Read on to view the finished project, review the floorplan and see how the house modules were transported to site.

At first glance of the exterior, you'll be immediately drawn to the striking split skillion façade, boasting contemporary lines and eye-catching angles. 

Home builder AustraliaThe home is vertically clad with James Hardie Axon Cladding and horizontally clad with Lysaght Custom Orb Metal Cladding, both in the colour ‘Monument’. The combination of these textures creates a captivating aesthetic.  

Outdoor areaOur clients also incorporated a Merbau decking upgrade, providing a warm timber accent to contrast the striking dark exterior. They also opted for an open roof Merbau timber slat pergola also in colour ‘Monument’. 

Kitchen and Living

Lounge designThe open-plan living space, which serves as the heart of this home, boasts high ceilings and an abundance of light from a diverse assortment of windows in various shapes. This not only ensures our clients can enjoy the surrounding views outside but also adds visual interest to the space.

The timber-look flooring in the colour ‘Ignea’, adds a rich, warm foundation that ties the living, kitchen and bedroom areas together. 

Kitchen The Laminex kitchen cabinetry has a flush door profile and is finished in French Navy, offset by the Wooden Blue Penny Round Mosaic tile splashback.

The upgraded Caesarstone Stone Benchtop is in the colour Airy Concrete, paired with matte black fixtures and two large Walnut coloured feature pendant lights that add a sleek touch to the space.

Bathroom

Bathroom tilesThis home has two bathrooms for convenient modern living. The Wall Hung Vanity in Laminex's 'Jericho' showcases a deep mid-tone hue with a soft woodgrain structure. Hung above, the large LED mirrors are a modern and captivating feature. 

Bathroom design A few of the upgrades included here are the freestanding bath, 'Belga Grey' floor to ceiling tiles, the matte black fixtures and framed shower screens.

We particularly love the 'Pietra Grey' Penny Round Mosaic Tile shower niche as it brings a refined touch of luxury to both shower spaces.

Bedrooms

Bedroom inspiration The main bedroom boasts a stylish and contemporary ambiance, adorned with the colour 'Night Sky' gracing both the walls and ceiling. This colour drenching makes the room feel calm and spacious, complemented by the cowhide rug, bright bedding, and rich-toned flooring.  

BeddingThe remaining two bedrooms offer ample space and coziness. Vibrant and eclectic in style, they boast bold patterns, textures, and tones, creating a lively atmosphere.Interior design

The McKenzie Project certainly showcases how the ambience of a home can transform with minor adjustments. While the layout and structure mirror our Bayswater display home, the finishes evoke a moodier atmosphere. In contrast to the bright coastal style of the display home, this residence exudes sophistication, refinement, and contemporary elegance.

Transportable homes
