This stunning home has been finished to exacting standards and has received widespread recognition for its design, attention to finishing detail and use of innovative fixtures and fittings. The external finish combines soaring three metre rammed earth walls, ship lapped spotted gum gables, a 250PFC feature perimeter beam and expansive Capral 150 series double glazed windows. These combine to make an outstanding transition into a superb setting. Internally the house has extensive use of solid spotted gum for the cabinetry and 1200 x 600 porcelain tiles in the entrance creating an open feel to the home. Bathrooms and ensuite use travertine tiling and glass to full effect and the open kitchen with travertine stone, links to the living areas but has been designed with functionality in mind. The living area centres around a bespoke fireplace in natural stone on a raised resin buffed concrete hearth. Lighting and electrical fixtures combine cutting-edge technology with energy efficiency and all fixtures are of the latest design and provide practicality of use. A beautifully landscaped pool is viewed from the living and master bedroom areas and is complimented with a pool house that replicates the features of the main house. Hedger Constructions is proud to have worked with the owners to complete this multi award winning home.

RE Home Photography, Marshall Sheppard

This project is an exhilarating exploration into function, simplicity, and the beauty of a white palette. Our wonderful client and friend was seeking a massive upgrade to a newly purchased home and had hopes of integrating her European inspired aesthetic throughout. At the forefront of consideration was clean-lined simplicity, and this concept is evident in every space in the home. The highlight of the project is the heart of the home: the kitchen. We integrated smooth, sleek, white slab cabinetry to create a functional kitchen with minimal door details and upgraded modernity. The cabinets are topped with concrete-look quartz from Caesarstone; a welcome soft contrast that further emphasizes the contemporary approach we took. The backsplash is a simple and elongated white subway paired against white grout for a modernist grid that virtually melts into the background. Taking the kitchen far outside of its intended footprint, we created a floating island with a waterfall countertop that can house critical cooking fixtures on one side and adequate seating on the other. The island is backed by a dramatic exotic wood countertop that extends into a full wall splash reaching the ceiling. Pops of black and high-gloss finishes in appliances add a touch of drama in an otherwise white field. The entire main level has new hickory floors in a natural finish, allowing the gorgeous variation of the wood to shine. Also included on the main level is a re-face to the living room fireplace, powder room, and upgrades to all walls and lighting. Upstairs, we created two critical retreats: a warm Mediterranean inspired bathroom for the client's mother, and the master bathroom. In the mother's bathroom, we covered the floors and a large accent wall with dramatic travertine tile in a bold Versailles pattern. We paired this highly traditional tile with sleek contemporary floating vanities and dark fixtures for contrast. The shower features a slab quartz base and thin profile glass door. In the master bath, we welcomed drama and explored space planning and material use adventurously. Keeping with the quiet monochromatic palette, we integrated all black and white into our bathroom concept. The floors are covered with large format graphic tiles in a deco pattern that reach through every part of the space. At the vanity area, high gloss white floating vanities offer separate space for his/her use. Tall linear LED fixtures provide ample lighting and illuminate another grid pattern backsplash that runs floor to ceiling. The show-stopping bathtub is a square steel soaker tub that nestles quietly between windows in the bathroom's far corner. We paired this tub with an unapologetic tub filler that is bold and large in scale. Next to the tub, an open shower is adorned with a full expanse of white grid subway tile, a slab quartz shower base, and sleek steel fixtures. This project was exciting and inspiring in its ability to push the boundaries of simplicity and quietude in color. We love the result and are so thrilled that our wonderful clients can enjoy this home for years to come!

This was to convert a downstairs to have a downstaire toilet fitted with stud wall deciding a room with a glass block window in and also full redecorating of lounge and dining room including re tilling of fire place and boxing in of service pipe works and removal of wood chip wall paper.

Listening is the cornerstone to every remodeling project we complete. Whether you're looking at a home design-build renovation or a simple house maintenance issue, we are ready listen...

The powder room we were called to tackle had a severe case of “green fever”. Emerald green floor, neon green walls, outdated oak framed vanity were the original finishes from 1984. The homeowners wanted to create a sophisticated 21st century powder room and were willing to step out of their comfort zone. They asked us to come up with a sleek and stylish solution for this tiny space. We replaced everything from floor to ceiling, creating a dark and dramatic space. We incorporated 3D geometric tile on a feature wall to add texture and interest. Medium tone modern vanity with white countertop create a nice contrast against the dark walls. We also came up with an idea to style this room two ways so our client could choose their favorite. One option was to limit the color scheme to a neutral palette creating a calm and monochromatic look. The second option included bright coral accents adding vibrancy and energy to the room. The result: a happy client, gorgeous powder room and two ways to showcase it!
