Innovative design perfectly captures entertaining dream

Entertaining was top of mind when the home was designed, earning it House of the Year honours for Koryzma Constructions.

The beautiful home offers an abundance of detailed and well-appointed living and entertaining areas, including its own detached recreation club, leading out to a full-size tennis court.

The club houses its own kitchen, as well as a full-size bathroom; it also offers a commercial-size bar with undermount bar fridges, custom-built steel shelving with back-lit LED lighting for a commercial design feel.

Shannon Koryzma of Koryzma Constructions said creating the winning home’s ‘Rec Club’ was a highlight of the build.

“With the creative ideas and input from the owner, we had the freedom to design commercial style shelving in the bar with illuminated shelving for bottle display,” he said.

“All features and fixtures (i.e doors, etc) were designed and handcrafted on-site by us.”

Next to the bar is a 3000-bottle, temperature-controlled, enclosed cellar with double glazed glass.

It has a spacious area to accommodate a

billiard table, poker table and lounge area with a video wall consisting of four televisions (to make one large screen, or multiple screens for the ultimate gaming and punting room). The club is linked to the main house via an undercover area, which is equipped with a formed polished concrete bench which houses a built-in barbecue and woodfire pizza oven.

The home’s living quarters includes five generously-sized bathrooms each with their own ensuite. There is a media room and office, downstairs powder room as well as an external powder room.

The generously sized kitchen features a modern butler’s pantry that leads out to the laundry.

It has a sunken lounge room with a built-in gas fireplace, a large living and family space which leads out to the alfresco with teppanyaki and

wet bar. The entire alfresco area can be fully closed in by glass stacking doors, should the weather turn nasty.

Shannon said the team used post tension cables in the concrete slab to get maximum span with minimal walls to achieve the desired open-plan layout.

There is a water feature and beautifullydesigned garden court yard dividing the office and media room wing from the alfresco area and on the other side the river frontage is preceded by a 14m x 7m L-shaped, tiled swimming pool.

The entire home and recreation club are fully automated through a Dynalite automation system which controls lights, air conditioning, televisions, sound system, an alarm system, blinds and curtains, disco lights and garage doors.

“This can be operated by the owner via phone or tablet from anywhere in the world,” Shannon said.

The property also boasts its own concrete pontoon.

“The owners are extremely satisfied with the end result,” Shannon said.

“They are enthusiastic entertainers and have told us they use every functional entertainment area in the house since moving in.”

Burleigh build right on point

Nestled in natural surrounds, the apartment complex was the first to be built in the area for thirty years and a worthy recipient of the Master Builders Project of the Year Award, with the challenges of limited site access and the need for specialised building techniques.

Capturing views East overlooking the ocean, North to Surfers Paradise and West to the Gold Coast Hinterland, the project comprised of nine residences across five levels; one of which is the top, full-floor penthouse.

Designed to sit into the headland itself, the brief was to create privacy for residents and minimise the impact of the building on the surrounding national reserve and existing homes.

5Point Projects iconic ONE Burleigh Headland apartments offer nextlevel luxury, while capturing the laid-back atmosphere unique to the neighbourhood.

Damian Dove, Director of 5Point Projects, said a subtle and sympathetic design that was connected to the neighbourhood, was crucial to the project’s success.

“The key aspect of the design, and what has been successful for this project was not in making a statement for the building, but rather designing a building that enhances and complements its surroundings.”

The build itself itself proved a challenge from the beginning for 5Point Projects and required a high degree of technicality, including a significant site cut.

“The initial challenge of building this design was the 14-metre excavation and retention process. The gradient on the site required a bulk cut of 14 metres to the southern (parkland) end down to zero-metres at the northern, all of which was done on the original footprint of the previous house,” Damian said.

“This required staging and bringing in fill to level three quarters of the site, to allow a piling rig to install 18 metre to 20 metre retention piles on a flat surface whilst protecting the natural and pristine forest it backed onto.”

Damian said once the retention design was

realised, the next challenge was to engineer each of the apartment floors with a slight twist, to gently step back parallel and arching to the curve of the headland.

“The introduction of structural transfer floors allowed this to occur, enabling maximum clear spans within the apartments and producing open-floor layouts with broad ranging views to the ocean.”

The slight curve meant the central core of the building effectively shifted north on each floorplate, as the building itself moved south at each rising floor level This created a further challenge for the team.

“We still required a centralised lift and stair core which resulted in every apartment having its own unique floor design.”

Damian said in order to deliver a building unlike anything else, the transfer floors, while an initial expense, provide long-term value as well as sustainability credentials.

The result was an award-winning complex, with each apartment unique in design and offering laid-back luxury.

“It’s building that is conscious of and connected to its surroundings, rather than one that fights against them.”

Quality finishes in Coomera home wow judging panel

The President’s Award is special recognition of a home that combines affordability with quality workmanship and innovation.

In addition to achieving top marks in the standard judging criteria, the construction cost must not exceed $350,000, making it a home every Queenslander can aspire to.

Winning the award this year is the Milan 27 at Foreshore Coomera by Coral Homes.

Showcased on a 515sq m block with a 17m wide frontage, the home’s Pavilion façade provides ample street appeal with masonry render, Concreate roof tiles in the colour

Tungsten, horizontal weatherboard and screen cladding and tiled feature piers on the portico.

Inside, the home delivers 271.59sq m of living space across four bedrooms, two bathrooms, three living rooms and an outdoor area.

The living spaces include a media room with dry bar, family room and a living room at the rear of the home, which is connected to extended alfresco space.

Brad Richardson, Coral Homes State Sales

Manager said the innovative design of the home focuses around the unique layout of the master bedroom.

“The combination is unusual, with the walk-inrobe to the rear and the ensuite located in the middle,” he said.

“Yet it works beautifully and enables the addition of the private courtyard off the master. By placing the living room at the rear of the home and adjacent to the master, it enables the overall floorplan of the home to be extended and the outdoor living space to be doubled.”

With the moderate Queensland climate, this additional outdoor space can be utilised all year around and improves the design’s liveability.

A feature unique to the parent’s retreat is the private alfresco area, designed to provide a secluded place to unwind and is accessed by large stacker doors.

The minor bedrooms are centrally located to the shared main bathroom and separate toilet; the fourth bedroom also features a built-in desk situated in front of a picture window.

The Milan 27 at Foreshore Coomera truly represents Coral Homes’ core objective of providing customers with outstanding value.

The judges were surprised by the value buyers can get in the competitive first home buyer market.

They were impressed by the standards of finish and the various inclusions such as ducted air conditioning, walk in pantry and corner stacker doors leading on to outdoor living area.

Brad said the design of the Milan 27 was created with families in mind.

“It ticks every box for an affordable family home.

“We believe that Coral Homes are changing the building landscape when it comes to affordable housing. The entire team have worked hard to achieve this, and we will continue to fulfil our customers’ dreams and build homes for Australian families."

Award win a pinnacle of success

A WIN in the prestigious Master Builders Housing & Construction Awards program has become a pinnacle those in the industry aspire to achieve.

Why? For more than 30 years, the Awards program has highlighted the movers and shakers in the industry. Those who stand out from the pack, whose craftsmanship, attention to detail and innovation is second to none.

The high calibre of entries is compounded by increasing entries year on year across the state making the competition a tough one. The Awards program is not a design showcase, rather a building competition and our judges are armed with a strict list of criteria that each entry must meet.

Originally known as the Housing Awards Competition, the first iteration of the awards

was held in 1987. The next year, the awards were expanded to include both residential housing and commercial industrial fields. The event was rebranded as the Housing & Construction Awards.

The new program was run in conjunction with the Housing and Construction Conference in 1988, which formed part of the iconic Brisbane’s Expo ’88 event program.

Regional Queensland joined the party in 1993 when the awards were opened across the state at the first Master Builders Regional Housing & Construction Awards.

The state-wide ceremonies have grown from strength to strength over the years and Brisbane has blossomed from a small ceremony with just a handful of categories to 57 categories including construction, housing, trade contractor/specialty and individuals awards.

Now, as we continue to celebrate our industry more than 30 years on from those initial awards ceremonies, it is truly heart-warming to see original regional winners who are still active Master Builders’ members today.

2019 HOUSE OF

5Point Projects delivers firstclass multi-storey complex

Unique approach brings ONE Burleigh Headlands alive.

Specialising in the multi-storey residential and commercial sectors, 5Point Projects have extensive experience delivering quality highend developments throughout South-East Queensland and Northern New South Wales.

The design-led and commercially disciplined project management and construction company was established in mid 2016 by founding director Damian Dove.

“After holding executive roles in Tier 1 companies for the past 10 years, I wanted to create a business where I could be more intimately involved in the key outcomes of our business and have valued relationships with our clients,” he said.

“Sitting in boardrooms measuring KPIs and statistics meant I lost connection with the day-to-day operations, our people and our clients and it had taken a toll on my passion.

“If I was to regain my passion and drive for the building industry in creating successful projects, I needed to have much more

personal connection with the journey to ensure a successful result and importantly the project ‘Win/Win’ outcome was achieved for all stakeholders not just for a few.”

The company aims to deliver boutique style customer focus that results in tailored delivery solutions.

“We want our clients to feel engaged and valued throughout the whole life of the project delivery process, not just being courted until contract signing then left hoping they have a robust building contract to fall back on,” Damian said.

“Our company vision invokes a collaborative culture, one that values relationships and importantly leads by example by doing what you say you will do.”

After a being a part of the industry for 30 years, Damian said his favourite part of the industry is people working in teams to accomplish a common goal.

“In our case it is a building that stands tall and proud and will do so as legacy of that achievement for years to come,” he said.

ONE Burleigh Headland is the first apartment complex to be built on Burleigh Headland in nearly 30 years and 5Point Projects is proud to have delivered this unique project.

The site adjoins the Burleigh Heads National Park, creating a unique position which offers residents uninterrupted north facing ocean views with the sanctuary of the rainforest as a backdrop.

Comprising nine residences across five levels, one of which is the top, full-floor penthouse.

The penthouse features four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a sauna, while the remaining eight apartments boast three bedrooms, two bathrooms and spacious balconies.

Each floor had been engineered differently to capture the due-north water frontages through the use of Transfer floors which also maximised the clear span footprint for each apartment.

These transfer slabs enable ONE Burleigh Headland to step back into the natural landscape rather than perched as a rectangle on the site.

“Going beyond the ordinary in a fullycustomised home build is what sets this family business apart. And represents the ultra in our name,”  Ultra Living Homes operations manager, Sharon Moyse said.

Building from the border to the south side of Brisbane and west to Jimboomba, the team at Ultra Living offer a collective building experience of over 137 years, resulting in exceptional homes tailored to the laid-back Queensland lifestyle.

“Our fulfilment comes from seeing our customers joy as their ultimate dream home comes to life before their eyes,” Sharon said.

“We want our clients home to reflect exactly what they need, whatever form that might take.”

Ultra Living Homes had two entries in this year’s Queensland Master Builders Awards that catered to varied budgets and requirements.

Their Crowne Display Home, located in Coomera, was designed to offer seamless indoor and outdoor living spaces and make the most of the warmer climate. The use of up to the minute design trends was evident

throughout, from the bold use of colour through to the striking tiled feature walls.

“The master suite is the knockout feature of the home,” Sharon said.

“The north facing windows allow natural light and winter warmth to the bedroom and the ensuite.”

Ultra Living’s custom-built, two-storey home located in Sovereign Lane, was born from an early inception of working closely with the developer of Coomera Waters.

The brief was to develop a pre-eminent architectural showcase that would set the

benchmark for future urban built form in this land stage release of 20 allotments.

“Our approach to this homesite was a continued focus on the end user. A clear sense of liveability and comfort was continually front of mind and it shows,” Sharon said.

“As you meander through the open plan, the clever use of two storey voids create a theatrical sense of opulence. The visual line from the front entry, protected winter courtyard and 5-metre long kitchen flows beautifully onto a generous under-roof entertaining space and open timber deck over the waterway.”

Success built on reputation

Panache Homes has long developed a trusted reputation for designing and developing state-of-the-art yet practical homes, and once again they have been entered into the Individual Home up to $250 000 category at this year’s prestigious Master Builders Housing & Construction Awards.

Over the years, this boutique family business have become synonymous with building innovation, unmatched workmanship and quality craftsmanship, expertly blending on-trend and luxurious homes with prices everyday Queenslanders can afford.

This stylish four-bedroom residence is located in Pimpama, one of the fastest growing suburbs in Australia, and therefore an ideal destination for families and savvy investors.

With uncomplicated elegance, the stand-out factor is the excellent use of functional space which include the 2.7-metre-high ceilings and large living-room window which infuse the home with natural light. Further clever and user-friendly design, combined with seamless tiling, expertly blend indoor and outdoor areas into a desegregated home.

The kitchen is complete with bench tops, glass splashbacks, soft-slide drawers, spacious pantry and top-quality appliances.

The front façade commands attention thanks to pivot doors and carefully landscaped exterior. The integrating of alfresco entertainment patio and breakfast nook with the lush garden further add to the exteriors overall appeal.

Those who choose Panache Homes to journey with them through the exciting adventure of building their own unique home can expect that the everyday needs of modern living will be skilfully entwined with the company’s trademark flair and creative dynamism.

“Exemplary customer service, attention to detail and commitment to high standards are at the heart of our success,” said Panache Homes managing director Sia Lagha’i.

“We work closely with valued clients who are trusting us to bring their dream home to life.”

In fact, his family remains friends with many of his clients long after the building is complete, a testament to the company’s emphasis on client relationships.

While his construction company is known for the superior quality of the imaginative homes they create, Mr Lagha’i says they pride themselves in fine detail and beautiful finishes.

“Most importantly, we show buyers that chic new home of this calibre can still be very affordable, and we want to be recognised by our peers and by the public as excellent value for money,” Mr Lagha’i said.

With a founding ethos focused on constructing creative outcomes as works of art, Mr Lagha’i remains passionate about the future of this dynamic and vibrant company.

Bucking the trend

FROM butler pantries and mud rooms to lifts, electric car charging stations and black and white colour schemes – that’s what’s trending in new homes this year.

The insider insight comes courtesy of the judging panel in the Master Builders 2019 Housing & Construction Awards.

And they should know, they’ve just spent the past few months physically visiting each home entered into the awards to make a thorough analysis of the build.

The judges noted other trends to be a strong continuation of the Hamptons style homes seen in 2018 including airy white interiors fit with shutters and neutral colour schemes.

Another trend – a throwback to the ‘90s – is family homes where parents allow their children to choose the colour for a feature wall in their bedroom.

“The butler’s pantries are the almost the

norm. For anything above $300,000 they definitely are, but even under that they’re increasingly incorporated,” the judges said.

“Homeowners love them so the kitchen looks neat and tidy when people are over.”

The judges said black and white had also clearly returned in a big way.

“It’s a timeless look and it’s certainly back to

the fore,” the judges said.

“All of a sudden it makes an appearance, whereas five years ago it was all off-white and cream.

“Now, we see a lot of crisp white with black trims and handles that almost aren’t visible.

“Everything’s gone really matte in line with this, the gloss finish is gone. As a result,

“Everything’s gone really matte in line with this, the gloss finish is gone. As a result, there’s a growing market for fingerless matte surfaces to avoid fingerprints with black finishes.”

there’s a growing market for fingerless matte surfaces to avoid fingerprints with black finishes.”

The judges said the increase in Hampton’s

style and mudrooms came hand-in-hand.

“It’s what the Americans have, it’s the room between the inside and the outside of your home. The terminology has come through

from America and Canada where there’s snow and lots of water and a mudroom is imperative.

The judges said the attraction for Hampton’s style was “homely”.

“It’s what you envisaged as a child, the architectural styling of the house has broad appeal,” the judges said.

“But the reason we don’t see it more is because of the cost. You’d probably put 20 per cent onto the cost of the house to go for Hamptons over rendered brick. Adding to this, in this style of home you see the dark, charcoal carbonated wood floors area quite prevalent.”

Beyond this, the judges said a growing trend in the higher end of the market was electric car charging stations and lifts in multi-level homes.

“Charging stations are around and being incorporated into architecturally designed homes. People are putting them in with the solar system,” the judges said.

“With some homes now the height of a multi-level unit development, lifts are an increasingly common inclusion in the higher end of the market.”
