This executive home, designed with wellbeing and comfort in mind, is a masterpiece of modern architectural design
Planned for modern living, this stunning architect-designed SHAWOOD home by Sekisui House delivers an uncompromising level of wellbeing and comfort. The home’s functional and organic design principles offer buyers the ultimate lifestyle, enhance sophistication, and are equally suited to large or growing families, or investors.
“With an emphasis on creating effortless open-plan living areas designed for entertaining, this expansive family home includes multiple living and recreational zones to accommodate family members spending time both together and apart. Indoor-outdoor connectivity is a considered and integral part of the home’s design, allowing effortless access to the central entertaining courtyard featuring a landscaped fire pit zone, as well as the oversized rear alfresco,” says Scott Rudgley, Sales Director, Residential Communities & Home Building, Sekisui House Australia.
Set across two refined levels, the flowing floor plan of this sophisticated SHAWOOD home brings a sense of calm and ease to everyday life. Astute architectural planning enables seamless movement throughout the home. Upon entry you are greeted with a luxurious lounge which opens to a wide hallway leading to the spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living zones.
Dramatic voids create a captivating aesthetic while the living spaces flow effortlessly to an expansive covered alfresco to the rear. A landscaped courtyard, which includes a fire pit, is directly accessible from the main living room.
The thoughtfully designed first floor boasts a generously proportioned principal suite and separate retreat, privately positioned away from the remaining three bedrooms. Considered window placement ensures each space is flooded with natural light and ventilation, promoting energy efficiency and wellbeing, while ample in-built storage and a two-car garage with workshop space add to the liveability of this unique family home.
The interiors of this home are a testament to an unrelenting commitment to precision and craftsmanship. The inclusion of LED lighting throughout, ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning, well-positioned utilities and ample storage bring ease to everyday activities.
“The distinctive facade of this executive residence features SHAWOOD’s imported Japanese entry door and unique Nichiha cladding,” adds Scott. “A special nano-hydrophilic coating to the exterior repels dust and heat while the proprietary cavity wall system promotes airflow and manages moisture levels, reducing the risk of long-term frame damage. Along with multiple layers of waterproofing and insulation, you have the assurance of absolute comfort all year round.
“Externally and internally, we utilised a contemporary palette with earthy tones based on the timber features throughout, with expressions of the materials used in the master bedroom, ensuite and bathrooms. The warm palette creates a welcoming aesthetic, and the use of timber features imparts a sense of organic design.”
SHAWOOD’s proprietary ‘metal joint’ construction system is at the core of the home, using laminated posts and beams to deliver superior strength, assembling accuracy and complete structural integrity. It is this pre-engineered technology that also enables the innovative, distinctive architectural features synonymous with SHAWOOD.
This SHAWOOD home is located in Norman Estates, a new masterplanned community set in Gledswood Hills, NSW that offers access to unmatched lifestyle amenities and commanding views of surrounding parklands and the adjoining Greg Norman-designed golf course.
