A Modern Family Home Showcasing Bespoke Cabinetry and Thoughtful Design

This luxurious modern home is a celebration of custom craftsmanship, where bespoke cabinetry takes centre stage in every room. Designed for contemporary family living, the interior is unified by a warm, natural palette and high-end finishes that reflect both style and functionality.

The open-plan living and entertaining area is anchored by sleek built-in cabinetry that adds refined storage and visual harmony. A polished concrete floor enhances the minimalist aesthetic, while the custom kitchen makes a bold statement with a sculptural island featuring a waterfall benchtop—ideal as both a prep space and casual bar.

In the family bathroom, bespoke vanities with soft pink basins are beautifully paired with earthy tiles and feature lighting. Upstairs, the main suite maximises coastal views with a Juliet balcony, while the ensuite boasts custom cabinetry, bronzed glass, and dark designer basins for a truly luxurious retreat.

From integrated storage solutions to handcrafted furniture-style vanities, every detail in this home has been tailored to suit the space—proving that great design is not just about looks, but about how you live in it.
