The Madison 2212 design with Masterton façade is a modern and contemporary home that is ideal for young families. The arbor entry adds immediate interest to the streetscape. The home itself, sports three generous bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living areas that radiate off the centrally located kitchen and butler’s pantry. Additional features such as a separate powder room and outdoor alfresco area complete the entertainment suite.

The Prague home flows through a formal entry, with the master bedroom, walk-in robe and ensuite to one side and access to the double garage on the other. The entry leads through into a lounge and study/bedroom/media room. A separate living and dining area flank the open-plan kitchen, laundry and butler’s pantry. Externally, the façade takes its cues from the classic, period architecture with clean lines celebrating the entry and a roof profile that complements any streetscape.

The Avalon entry opens into a spacious foyer with a large living/library situated to one side, while access to the double garage is on the other. Passing through the foyer one is led into a light-filled, open-plan family and dining area that abuts the open-plan kitchen and expansive walk-in butler’s pantry. Large sliding doors open onto the covered outdoors alfresco. Upstairs, the master bedroom has access to a large walk-in robe, luxurious ensuite and private balcony as well as a fifth bedroom/study/retreat. The other three bedrooms, each with a walk in robe, lead off a joint rumpus room and share the second bathroom.

From the moment you enter the kitchen your eye is attracted to the feature curved cook top/range hood recess with tintedmirror splashback that is mounted inside the black standalone cabinetry tower. This tower not only extends floor to ceiling, it creates the division between the kitchen and walk in pantry, as well as housing the linear slots for the air conditioning system. The tower is minimalistic with no handles. It is designed to be in total contrast to the island bench that consists of white vinyl cabinetry in satin finish. The fridge recess is on the side of this tower meaning the fridge is not in direct line of sight.

The lower living zone of this home is resort style with open-plan living at its finest. The kitchen is a modern, minimalist design with handleless cabinetry doors and drawers. The black Miele appliances and black sink mixer provide a beautiful and dramatic contrast to the white cabinetry and Caesarstone benchtops.

BH PRESTIGE HOMES Project: South Melbourne Contact: Brent Henry Phone: 0414 674 412 Website: www.bhprestigehomes.com.au Designer: AIGP P/L Designed to create a modern contemporary home with crisp lines and symmetry but using a minimalist approach, this three-storey home is focused on entertaining. To create a more light-filled space on the mid-level, a skylight was installed that provides a vast light well that extends down to the mid-level providing both light and warmth to the dining/living space. The open alfresco courtyard is a further extension of this mid-level entertaining zone that features an open plan perimeter seating/ planter box arrangement that is fully tiled with built-in barbecue facilities as well. The open courtyard adjacent to the middle living zone is one beautiful area and there is another balcony adjoining the upper level theatre/gym room that is covered with synthetic grass that enjoys both the glorious morning sun and views over the diverse city landscape.
