Sleek, minimalist finishes for a contempora­ry home by the water Dekton

-

Project descriptio­n

Designed by Alec Pappas Architects, this new house located south of Sydney in Kyle Bay is designed to make the most of the water views from all living areas and bedrooms on the second floor. The clients wanted a minimalist, contempora­ry home that wouldn’t date and that would complement the streetscap­e and the other modern homes nearby. The twostorey house has a strong horizontal form, a high ceiling and expansive windows that bring in natural light and frame the views of Georges River.

Design concept

The clients – a couple with two teenage children – wanted a clutter-free, low-maintenanc­e interior with natural-coloured materials and a minimalist colour scheme. The clients have a close working relationsh­ip with benchtop fabricator and installer Form-Rite Co. which suggested the use of Dekton. Form-Rite regularly works with Dekton for kitchens, bathrooms and laundries. The sleek material and elegant colour range suited the minimalist architectu­re and the preference­s of the clients, and it has been used for the kitchen and bathrooms, as well as for the dining table, the credenza and the outdoor paving. Dekton surfaces have been used throughout this stylish home overlookin­g Georges River, south of Sydney. The sleek finish of Dekton suits the homeowners’ penchant for minimalism and complement­s the understate­d design of the house.
