Lot 20 Soldiers Road, Berwick (Minta estate)

Newly designed with an invigorating and show-stopping façade, the Shoreham 425 display at Minta Estate offers a modern, cool feel and a clever design with simple statements in mind.

With a modern brief and grand floor plan, the designer wanted to create a ‘wow’ factor home with structural features that make your dreams come true. The style and size of the double storey design makes it perfect for a wide range of lifestyles and life stages.

The new McKinley façade is modern, with commercial-style aluminium frame windows and complementary cladding that is coloured to match. Rendered projections colour block the façade and show off its straight lines and boxy features. The dark porch projection sits beautifully with the dark windows, ensuring it stands out. It features a gorgeous tumbled brick with red tones and washes of whites and blacks, which gives a recycled feel.

Walking into the home you’ll instantly see the ‘wow factor ahead, with a wide entry door and sidelight to flood light from the front to rear. Inside is filled with natural light, with high ceilings and square set cornices combining form and function. Monochromatic touches of black, white and grey tones adorn the internal spaces. Hints of walnut timbers sit friendly with velvets, nubuck leathers and modern prints. Black and graphite fittings find peace against white stone benchtops. The superwhite splashbacks are stunning! Sophisticated heavy textures soften the hard finishes, warming each space while not taking away from the cool tones.

Each floor is inviting thanks to functional layouts and tasteful pieces. Downstairs offers two living spaces, study, powder room, meals, kitchen, walk-in pantry and laundry, and is finished off with a covered outdoor area and double garage. Upstairs comprises rumpus, main bedroom, walk-in robe, ensuite, four rear bedrooms and two adjoining ensuites. Stylish dome downlights add warmth and ambience to each space.

The living space at the front of the home was designed with a built-in fireplace and dark wall-to-wall sheers creating a moody luxe space. Large mid grey floor tiles seamlessly move through each space, complementing the large open plan style living area. The study is fitted out with gorgeous loop pile carpet to capture texture and depth, and is paired with black and walnut cabinetry. The long bench seat with black velvet cushion and feature wall light creates the perfect reading space. The ground floor powder room, with floor to ceiling tiles, grey cabinets and white stone, adds to the sense of ambience.

Higher ceilings instantly noticed with the connection of straight, modern spaces. Square set cornices, added bulkheads and dropped ceilings create level and attractive heights.

The center of the home is breathtaking. An open stair in dark stain and glass balustrade meets with the half-height plaster wall, and is creatively designed with storage and bench seat underneath. Looking up, the open void over the stairs is large and grand, and a feature pendant complements the design.

The back of the home is exciting and inviting. Large custom picture windows meet at floor level next to two large stacker doors which provide ample light. The family room is designed with built-in plaster, feature stone and black cladding. Sheer curtains drawing on dark greys hang elegantly over the stacker doors.

The kitchen has to be seen to be believed. The clever cabinetry design offers space with style. Black base cabinets, streamlined handless pot drawers, light grey overheads and clean white stone benchtops highlight the superwhite porcelain splashback. The custom designed island bench with its 40mm stone and box style is spectacular. Twin built-in wall ovens towers are practical and stylish. The pantry continues the design, with black cabinets, open shelving and built-in appliances.

The laundry pairs perfectly with the kitchen, with light grey overheads and gorgeous superwhite splashback. Quickslide linen cupboards ensure no space goes astray.

Upstairs, the rumpus room offers stylish comfort with a large modular, sheer curtains and grey tones. Almost 43 squares of space does not go unnoticed with the large rooms and hallways.

The main bedroom feels grand and luxurious with multiple windows and an open design. Double doors invite you in, with the bed sitting against a floating wall and floor to ceiling walk-in-robe cabinets located behind. Additional hanging space and drawers provide a sense of class. Dark sheers draw your attention around the room which feels elaborate yet simple. The ensuite finds place with its large plaster opening and space. The 2400L double vanity sits adjacent to the commercial window and freestanding bath, softened with sheer curtains and fluted glass to the lengthened shower. A half height wall to the rear and black fittings finish off the modern shower, complementing the floor to ceiling grey tiles. The spacious room comfortably accommodates two people. Dome downlights feel relaxed as they finish off the space with an appropriate ambience.

Visually, the McKinley façade and Shoreham design provide a home full of character, personality and sophistication. The simplistic styling and strong materials complement the product placement and architecturally-inspired structure. Cool and modern, the design team have found balance in all areas of design.
