Pure Beaumaris Elegance

 

Mike and Maggie’s Beaumaris home is bursting with sophisticated elegance.

The seamless finish that flows effortlessly from room to room gives away this isn’t their first rodeo. The owner-builder couple know exactly what they’re doing, and the houses they build are a testament to this; a clever combination of design, contemporary materials and a touch of warmth to make spaces instantly feel like home.

As you step into their open plan kitchen, hues from the Polytec Natural Oak Ravine warm the space while the juxtaposing expanses of glass flood the room with natural light. Their sleek and contoured design emanates all the characteristics of a classic Modern kitchen - handleless and beloved for its clean simplicity and practical layout. Stacks of Blum Intivo drawers and smooth frameless cabinetry, allow straightforward access and no nonsense fussing when reaching for vital utensils mid-recipe.

Dekton Sirius Solid benchtops add an urban edge to the room, the intense and strong material directly contrasting with surrounding natural tones. Admired for its ability to create an enviable visual contrast, the popular material introduces a subtle textured leather-like surface that’s as durable as it looks. Hot pots? Not a problem.

Their dual Neff oven and its accompanying rangehood are cleverly nestled into cabinetry at the perfect height, ready for cooking up cherished family meals and well out the way of little curious hands. The Bosch cooktop is accented by a CDK Stone Neolith Beton splashback, which subtly introduces natural textures and a cool grey colour that compliments glimmers revealed in the timber look cabinetry.

Just off the kitchen and tucked away - almost out of sight - lies the laundry room. Well-organised and bright, its Classic White Matt Laminate cabinetry has been thoughtfully designed for task-based storage, allowing ample countertop space and easy access to washing machines – exactly what a laundry demands.

The wizardry doesn’t stop in the kitchen… it appears throughout Maggie and Mike’s home, flowing into the wardrobes, wall units, vanities and home office.

The elegant family bathroom vanity introduces the same handleless door style and finish as the kitchen cabinets, as does the custom desk cabinetry cleverly arranged in the home office and the TV unit spanning the lounge. This extension of material creates a strong sense of continuity, carrying the Modern style throughout sprawling living space.

Everyone knows that it’s hard to be productive in a messy, cluttered office. Key to a practical design is organised space that encourages good ergonomics as well as productivity. Mike and Maggie’s use of double layered desks and custom shelving create plenty of nooks to tidy things away while retaining their modern, minimalist style. This not only enhances the functionality of the space, but also brings in the style of the nearby kitchen.

For our owner-builder dream team, this is their second time working with the Wizards and we have seen firsthand their heart and soul poured into creating a truly loving home.

We managed to capture them on camera to share some thoughts (as well as a captivating Grand Designs-style tour of their home) ...

We’ve done two full house projects with Wood Wizards including custom joinery for our kitchen, laundry, wardrobes, wall units, vanities & home office. The staff are very attentive, knowledgeable and helpful, and nothing was ever too much trouble. We like to support local business and having the showroom closeby on Nepean Hwy in Bentleigh was not only convenient, but also offered a great choice of materials and finishes. Most importantly, the quality of workmanship is second to none and we are delighted with the end result on both our houses.
— Mike & Maggie, Beaumaris
