CONSCIENTIOUS ALTERNATIVES TO ENGINEERED STONE
Since Australia’s ban on engineered stone, consumers are turning their attention towards safer, more sustainable, and cost-effective alternatives for their new homes and renovation projects. Engineered stone, once lauded for its durability and aesthetic appeal, has come under scrutiny due to its association with health hazards, particularly concerning silica dust exposure. This regulatory shift has prompted a significant shift in consumer behaviour, leading to a growing demand for alternatives that prioritise safety, sustainability, and affordability.

Ahead of the competition, ForestOne has been leading the way in providing sustainable building solutions since its inception. Committed to responsible sourcing, their range focuses on beautiful timber and surface products that wherever possible are certified under either FSC® or RW/PEFC Chain of Custody (CoC) and includes cost-effective and safe alternatives to engineered stone.

SUSTAINABLE LUXURY
This contemporary harbour-front home by Mardini Constructions stands as a testament to the multi-award-winning builder’s reputation for delivering exceptional results with difficult and complex projects. Situated on a steep sloping site in Henley, overlooking Wallumatta Bay and the Parramatta River, the existing 3 bedroom home was completely demolished. The site then underwent extensive excavation to accommodate the new 5 bedroom contemporary custom home which magnificently combines luxury family living with sustainable design.

Sydney custom home builders Mardini Constructions worked closely with the client and architects on the home’s design which was commenced by Algorry Zappia & Associates and further refined by Designcorp Architects. The brief called for a high calibre home of robust construction that would suit both the demands of family living and its waterfront location and construction consequently embraced a myriad of durable, low maintenance materials, including exposed concrete, recycled hardwoods, cedar, sandstone and marble. At the property’s entry, walls created from bricks that were cleaned and repurposed from the original home, a fence made from sandstone excavated from the site, and recycled hardwood timber on the front façade demonstrates the commitment to sustainability that is evident in every aspect of this unique project.

MODERN BARNHOUSE FLINDERS
Designed to meet the requirements of rugged farm life and coastal weather conditions as well as take advantage of the surrounding views, this unique custom home by GStruct Group presents as three individual volumes, nestled into the sloping land. The barn-like structures interconnect to form an impressive 920sqm family residence that despite its size, blends harmoniously with the environment, largely due to an inspired selection of organic materials which have been used extensively in both the home’s construction and internal finishes. Inspired by traditional farm buildings the exterior of the home is largely clad in silver top ash timber with an oiled finish designed to weather and age over time. Embracing off-grid living, sustainability was prioritised incorporating a log fireplace and woodpellet boiler for heating, solar panels, multiple rainwater storage tanks, and natural dam irrigation.

GREAT WINES TO CELLAR
Creating a home wine cellar is a connoisseur’s dream, a personal sanctuary where carefully selected bottles mature gracefully, awaiting the perfect moment to be uncorked (or unscrewed) and enjoyed. It’s not just about storing wines for convenience sake; it’s a deliberate cultivation of taste and an investment in the art of aging. A well-curated home wine cellar reflects the owner’s passion for the complexities of wine, showcasing a collection that tells a story of exploration, discovery, and an appreciation for the nuances of different vintages. Take a look at recommendations for some great wines to cellar from some of Australia's most renowned wineries including Vasse Felix, d'Arenberg, McHenry Hohnen and others.

TAKE A LOOK AT THE 2024 RENOVATION OF THE YEAR!
Congratulations to Perth's Zorzi who took out the 2024 HIA Australian Renovation /Addition of the Year on the weekend, for this remarkable transformation adding to the builders many accolades and once again confirming their position as one of Australia’s premier custom home builders.
Positioned at the rear of another property on a battle-axe block in Dalkeith, access was extremely difficult, requiring the use of a crane to overhaul not just the entire façade and exterior but the nearly 900sqm of living space. Given the obstacles faced by the Zorzi team, the metamorphosis is truly astounding, resulting in a striking contemporary home that is barely recognisable as the tired Tuscan home it was.
