From Inside to out, this stylish home boasts a cohesive palette of materials.
The vision for the design of this chic Brisbane property was to create a family home that not only looked good but was liveable and practical, too. Taking a ‘less is more’ approach, Bayview One, a contemporary new-build, is highlighted by sleek finishes, modern materials, clean lines, and a neutral, light palette. The design created by the leading design duo Darren James and Elissa Greer of award-winning Darren James Interiors, it boasts an alfresco area that flows beautifully from the home’s interior kitchen and living area. Providing plenty of privacy around the pool and with pockets of greenery and landscaping, this outdoor entertaining space is very enticing. It also combines materials from the front facade, namely blackbutt timber and white-painted brick, tying the look to the overall aesthetics of the home’s exterior.
Drawing on their wealth of experience in harmonising textures and surfaces, Darren and Elissa delivered a seamless and integrated look for Bayview One’s interiors by featuring Staron Solid Surface throughout the property, ensuring a flawless design from inside to out. Staron is perfectly placed within the carefully curated collection of materials used across the project, appearing in spaces such as the kitchen, scullery, and study, as well as in the powder room, main bathroom, and laundry. In designing the kitchen particular attention was paid to maintenance, with a small coved return detail seamlessly integrated behind the stove. This offers a slimline detail for the splashback and eliminates the need for silicon, making cleaning easier. The island also boasts a perfectly integrated silicon-free Staron sink. This matches the island in Staron Bright White, so the sink almost disappears from view.
Establishing an effortless connection between the interior design elements of the home and the alfresco cooking and dining area was of paramount importance. With this in mind, the outdoor kitchen showcases the same curved rangehood detail as featured in the indoor kitchen, while the Staron Solid Surface in Bright White flows from the interior joinery to the outdoor benchtop. Just as importantly, not only does the Staron Solid Surface connect back to the kitchen’s key design elements, it offers a UV-stable option the design duo could layer with other surfaces within the outdoor environment. With first-hand experience of the durable nature of Staron Solid Surface, having used it in one of their previous kitchens, and given the demanding applications in Bayview One, Darren and Elissa didn’t hesitate to once again choose Staron for your new family home.
