inished to the highest standard and ideally
suited to the larger family wanting to enjoy all
the modern luxuries, this project in Sydney’s
outer west presented Durastyle Homes with an
unusual challenge.
“The home was purchased at lock up stage,”
explains Andy Gibbs, manager, Durastyle
Homes. “We had to take over from the previous
builder and work with the existing facade and internal
layout, but that didn’t mean we couldn’t make a host of
improvements. One of the fi rst things we did was make
some key changes to the fl oor plan that we felt would
enhance the home’s appearance and create more ambience.
“One of the most important changes was to open up the
staircase and entrance way. Now, as soon as you enter the
home, you can see through the fl oating staircase and its
glass balustrade to the pool in the rear garden. By doing
this, we have given the home a much grander entrance and
it is now one of the standout features.”
The two-storey
home is the epitome of
contemporary luxe and
this can be seen in the
fi nishes and materials
employed. Says Andy,
“For the ground-level
fl ooring, we chose a
semi-gloss, light grey
concrete-look tile which
we absolutely love. In
the upstairs bedrooms
and living areas there
is carpet, which gives the home a plush, comfortable feel
as soon as you ascend the stairs. To provide some visual
warmth and soften the look of the downstairs tiling, the stair
treads and handrail are timber.”
To give the home a more contemporary look and feel,
Durastyle Homes opted for square-set walls throughoutContemporary luxe
For families who crave a touch of luxury plus all the mod
cons, this two-storey home exceeds expectations
