Sandstone has been used extensively, from the driveway and paths, outdoor terraces and balconies to the interiors, which benefit from underfloor heating throughout the living areas at entry level. Internal walls are deep and dense, commercially influenced construction methods rendering a solidity that is rare in residential settings. Curves, cleverly placed openings and balcony features break up straight lines, and sections of glass whether louvres, bricks, angular features and expansive panes, allow plenty of light and the river views to be enjoyed.

The formal living and dining are set in one enormous room that is grand in its appearance and dimensions. Raked, timber lined ceilings, a crystal chandelier and an open, log burning fireplace with ornate sandstone mantel, raised hearth and decorative antique gold framed mirror above, create a lodge like feel that, while spacious, is incredibly cosy and inviting.

Casual dining and family lounge spaces open to the river facing terrace on this middle level, where glass balustrades curve around the living areas and private master suite. A Vergola louvred roof cover system can be adjusted to suit the climate conditions and the occasion.
