THE BRIEF
To construct a stylish, modern country cottage featuring a host of custom design features including concave wrap around verandahs, exposed internal roof trusses, plantation shutters, windows and doors, fireplace, kitchen, vanities and laundry. Each of these elements contributed to the stylish atmosphere generated by the home and were all manufactured by Strongbuild in its custom joinery workshop to exact specifications. Subtle use of recycled timber in the fireplace mantle and exposed roof trusses provided the rustic visual link necessary to complete the country element of the design. The construction took 6 months to complete in 2005.
DETAILS.
The home is located on the outskirts of the town of Berry on the South Coast of New South Wales.
Architect / Designer was David Cox. David can be contacted through Strongbuild on 02 4464 3892
'I had a vision of what I wanted to achieve for my country house not just in terms of overall design and use of space, but the feel and spirit of the place. I was extremely happy with the professionalism and dedication to the project of Strongbuild's Jamie and Chris. They were very accommodating and could always be contacted at the end of the phone. Also I was thrilled that the job was completed, as the boys promised it would, on time and on budget.
I have nothing but good things to say about the Strongbuild team.'
