WINNERS PROFILE
Perfectly blending quality and function Clamroc Constructions’ entry into this year’s Master Builders Awards takes contemporary living to soaring new heights KAJA (pronounced Kai -ah) is a two-storey, north-east facing, corner block home designed by Torren Bell. It is a modern, four bedroom, open plan residence, which has utilised its space to feel larger than expected. This industrial-edged home blends quality with function. Your eye is instantly drawn to the mix of recycled red brick, steel, cladding, glass, concrete and greenery highlighted by custom aluminium framed window hoods and angled eaves. Being on a corner block, the design and build quality had to extend from the norm to continue the façade around the side of the home. Privacy is then achieved from the window coverings internally, as to not take away from
the exterior look of the project. The interior continues to showcase the elements from the exterior with its collaboration of stone, timber flooring, cladding, tiles, and sleek glass balustrade. Kaja’s designer kitchen displays a mixed use of materials and colours, enhancing each and creating a space to enjoy visually and practically. The use of hand blown, Soktas glass pendant lighting almost appears as art throughout the home. Due to the compact block, the home integrates interior with exterior to give a sense of space using natural light, sliding stacker doors and curtains to add flow. The client requested minimal maintenance, so a James Hardie Deck was installed to the pool area.
The surprise highlight is the external alfresco area on the second floor, to enjoy entertaining in the ultimate serene space with sweeping views of the Surfers Paradise and Broadwater skyline. This project wasn’t without its challenges for the Clamroc Constructions team, due to flood storage components and tight access.. Traffic control was also paramount during the delivery as the block was so exposed to the public. However, carefully executed logistics came into play and Kaja was delivered on time and within budget. The end result is a timeless, modern, industrial-edged home of which the Clamroc Constructions team is exceptionally proud.
