New Farm House – Black Solid Oak Interior

This home has many varied living spaces which all came with their own challenges; the solid oak timber fluted paneling with each section of the paneling throughout this home being different so it flows around into another section, so each section had to be custom made. And there were to be no fillers used in the corners, which added another challenge.

The kitchen, panty and living spaces also all have complex curves and fluted paneling running into flat panels.
The upstairs office is a very workable office space with plenty of thought gone into how this space will work, as more than one person are working from home.
The main ensuite is just simply breath taking, the curved vanity adds a really unique touch to this design and is something I am sure we will see more of.
The Master suite with walk-in robe really make this home, the wall paneling and window seat fit beautifully with the Tudor window frame.

The architects wanted a black finish on all the joinery, and we had to make sure the oak grain was still visible, so we mixed up an earth black stain to achieve this and then finished all the joinery in a clear matt finish 2 pack.

This project was designed by Shaun Lockyer Architects and the build by CGH Constructions. Both a pleasure to work with.

Working with Shaun Lockyer Architects we built all the interior and exterior furnishings. Beautiful warm solid timber look to contrast the concrete construction. Wall panel, built in window seats, all the doors, cupboards, walk-in robe and laundry and barbecue area were designed to compliment and bring a sense of unity to the whole build.

New Farm Penthouse

This penthouse has 2 levels with an elevator between, we have created wood paneling for all of the walls to bring the two floors together for the harmonious uninterrupted view of the Brisbane river, Storey Bridge and skyline.

Every room we created is made from Solid oak or Veneer oak. We have tinted some of the timber to bring out different elements in the wood. And with the use of gold trim to highlight and complement the timber.

The top level houses the informal dining and service area, overlooking the pool and on the lower level; the kitchen, living, bedrooms, bathrooms, dressing room, hallway display, library all in natural oak and the entertainment room and pool room with wine storage in dark oak veneer.

To achieve this level of high detail and finish we worked closely with Tom Dooley’s team, in consultation with John, manager of the construction. Who provided us with expertise and as a team we were able to produce exceptional high quality penthouse living.

The owner came to us looking for quality timber furnishings for their new home. They both loved the idea of having as much timber through out their new home as possible. We worked with their ideas and helped to transform their new house into a home.

The Kitchen island is a WOW Piece , Solid Oak with a sunken in Butler sink, with a detailed island Cabinet. This Kitchen is spacious and has a wonderful feel. Off the kitchen there is a full butlers pantry, with stainless steel bench tops, and then leading into the mud room and laundry.

The Bedroom robes,  were made from Oak and we painted them all white in a two pack finish and we left the grain showing , to add a warmer inviting touch to the rooms.

The Ensuite Vanity OMG it is Amazing (not my words) The drawers are all Solid Oak which shows off the grain in every section.

The walk-in robe is made in Oak and are floor to ceiling, which makes this space look and feel larger, with many drawers for storage.

The two standalone Timber Vanities are pieces of Art, they have hand turned legs with a detail drawer.
