There’s excitement in a number of reveals: the double garage door is camouflaged within precise ebony timber battens; a double study is concealed beyond the living area’s entertainment wall; the central library opens to a breath-taking glazed double-height void and a curved wall in the main bedroom screens the stunning ensuite. The Kooyong’s exacting detail is showcased in laser-levelled square set ceilings, space defining ceiling recesses and wall projections, wall recesses for artwork and large screens and a glass wall opening to stack out of sight between dining and alfresco.

Knockdown rebuild benefits Many homeowners wish they lived in a larger, more luxurious home designed for modern life.

very year Englehart Homes builds new luxury homes for families who love where they live but want better lifestyles. With land values climbing more homeowners want to knock down existing homes to make way for brand-new, luxury homes with the latest design and technology. They’re knocking down and rebuilding because sought-after suburbs are full of outdated homes and building a new home offers better value and results – renovating can double the cost per square metre of a new build and is always a compromise. A brand-new custom-designed and built home will optimise a site’s solar orientation, outlooks, and block shape and have highly liveable spaces inside and out. Homeowners will live more comfortably with excellent insulation, passive solar design, cross ventilation, greater natural light and fresh air and the use of non-toxic materials. The Englehart team can appraise your site without obligation and discuss design options after considering its street frontage, depth, solar aspect, outlooks and shape. We manage everything from site assessment, design and planning approvals to demolition and construction, providing an upfront price and peace of mind.

Knockdown rebuild benefits Leading design and technology Enhanced lifestyle Value Certainty – costs, time and process Sustainability

Quality is paramount in every aspect of each home we design and build, delivering our clients unparalleled, enduring value.

Crafting quality homes Gary Blainey – Heating and cooling

Alen Gabeljic – Renderer

Gary Blainey and his Blain-Air team ensure Englehart homeowners enjoy the most comfortable living environments. Blain-Air works with the Englehart design team to ensure heating and cooling is perfectly integrated into the design of each Englehart home to deliver the most efficient results. “We are there from the planning stage, helping design seamless comfort into every Englehart home.”

For the past decade Alen and his dedicated team have been largely responsible for meticulous external render finishes and installation of mouldings for Englehart Homes. As a perfectionist himself Alen says “I love working for such a high quality builder. Their homes are always challenging with a vast array of single and multi-level designs. Englehart Homes demands a very high quality and expect second to none attention to detail whether it be the many different render textures through to installing moulds on their various classic designs”.

Gerald Walsh – Project Manager As an Englehart project manager Gerald Walsh draws on his 30-plus years of experience building Englehart homes to ensure our trades and craftspeople deliver the best results for our clients. The highly skilled carpenter says while each Englehart home is distinctly different, they all must deliver the same exceptional quality. “As project manager you work as a team with all of the trades; that teamwork creates an environment where everyone is striving to deliver their best,” Gerald says.

eal estate agents tell us they place a higher value on Englehart homes because they understand that their quality stands the test of time, setting them above other homes in the market. At the heart of each of our houses are highly skilled crafts and trades people who dedicate themselves to building the best homes. We support their work with exceptional design and the best materials, finishes and fixtures and the Englehart quality assurance process that requires regular inspections of materials and workmanship. Our team of highly experienced professionals focus on the limited number of homes that we create each year, with the same team working on all of our homes. They have the skills to meet our exacting standards and deliver beautifully designed, built and finished luxury homes. They all share a passion for and pride in their work and some are the second generation in their families to work on Englehart homes.

textures – they are a very superior product. A lot of brickies can struggle with them, but we know how to handle them. “I drive by the houses once they’re finished – I am really proud of my work and it’s great to see how the houses turn out. I take great pride in my work for Englehart; they produce such a great product.”

Brad Gaskell – Plasterer

Sandor Czucs – Tiler Seven years ago Sandor joined Suad, his father-in-law who had been working with us from our earliest days. As well as working on all types of tiling, Sandor and his team also install marble fireplaces. “I like Englehart because they put the time and effort in to build properly and this means I can produce a beautiful finish. The design of their rooms also makes a real difference and they use much better quality tiles than most other builders. We bring a lot of creativity to our work with Englehart and I enjoy being able to create a picture and atmosphere with my tiling.”

Andre Winter – Landscaper Andre has been creating landscaped garden settings for Englehart homes for over 30 years and now his two sons have joined him. “Our work varies greatly – for a French provincial house there will be a lot of plant repetition in formal hedging and layers but other houses require a more natural setting with large boulders and heavy timbers. It depends on the style of house, its neighbourhood and its aspect. “On a quality scale of 10, Englehart is always looking for a 10.5, so we are always striving. Englehart gives us the opportunity to do the best possible work that we can do. There’s a lot of hidden preparation in Ron’s landscapes – far more than for the average builder. Most of the work is underground in drainage and soil preparation.” Andre and his team provide ongoing maintenance for many Englehart clients.

Dan White – Bricklayer

Brad has been creating the meticulous, intricate plaster finishes for Englehart’s French provincial homes for the past 10 years. He says a lot of fine plastering skills are disappearing with few plasterers now working at his level: “Most plastering work on new homes is basically the same but not with Englehart. “It’s a lot of detailed fine work, you have to get the moulds exactly right and finish everything exactly. It isn’t like normal everyday plastering work. There are challenges with curved bulkheads, coffered and suspended ceilings, skylights and moulds. They keep challenging us and we enjoy meeting every challenge. “Every Englehart house is different – it makes you think about what you are doing all the time. It takes longer to do everything properly, but that’s the nature of custom work.

Richard Porter – Framer Richard says Englehart’s sites are always clean and well run with excellent communication between supervisors, trades and suppliers. “All the trades who work for Englehart are like a family; we all like each other and help each other out on jobs. The people who do the floor and roof trusses for Englehart are brilliant – they’re the best I have worked with. “It takes a lot longer to build a custom home than a volume home; the quality is different. We have never built the same house twice for Englehart, each home is different.”

Dan White has been laying bricks for Englehart for 20 years. He says Englehart is very particular about what they want and consequently they produce an excellent product. “When you mention to people that you are working on an Englehart home they always say what a great reputation Englehart has. “They’re a great organisation to be a part of; they are by far my favourite builder to work with. They take great pride in their work and so do I.” Dan enjoys working with the Daniel Robertson bricks featured in many Englehart homes: “I love the colours and 23

Crafting quality homes Elvis Nuhic – Painter Elvis has worked for Englehart for the past seven years and loves the fact that all other trades working for Englehart produce exceptional work: “this makes it possible to produce the best paintwork – it makes a big difference working with other trades who know exactly what they’re doing. “Ron wants everything to be perfect so we make sure it is. We spend a lot of time preparing the woodwork for painting and preparing between coats. We keep going until it is perfect. On standard jobs builders ask for two or three coats of paint, at Englehart it’s always at least four coats, and if I am not happy we will do it again until I am. I check all of our work carefully before I say it’s done to make sure it looks perfect. “With painting you are pretty much the last trade in the door so it makes a world of difference if all the work done before you is of an exceptional standard, and that’s what we get at Englehart.”

Steven Calleja – Electrician Steven Calleja has worked on Englehart Homes since he was a 17-year-old electrical apprentice. More than 30 years later he has his own business and nearly all of his work is on Englehart homes. He appreciates the quality of Englehart Homes; “when the quality of the home is very high everyone strives to reach a better standard, and Ron insists that every job is above standard”. He and his team often install large chandeliers and smart wiring; whatever Englehart clients require.

Mal Temple – Cabinetmaker Mal and his team handcraft high-end cabinetry and finishes for Englehart homes. Everything is made to measure to an exceptional standard, with much work completed in solid timbers which may be stained to match a floor colour. “Every job is different and has its own custom features and we love the variety of work – we focus entirely on made to measure architectural work. A lot of clients are very particular and they really appreciate the work we do.”

Rohan Fisher – Roofing and roof plumber Rohan and his team have been roofing, and roof plumbing Englehart homes for 15 years. He says the quality of the construction of Englehart homes is far above and beyond most home builds. “The quality of Englehart’s design and construction is in a different league. I am proud just to be associated with Englehart Homes as their quality is so respected in the industry.” He says when he and his team suggest improvements to processes the Englehart team are more than happy to take them on board. Rohan also notes that Englehart places a strong emphasis on design detail. Some of Rohan’s most challenging work has been on Englehart’s French provincial homes with handcrafted leadlight roof domes that require highly exacting roof plumbing.

Mark Crestani – Plumber After 32 years working on Englehart homes Mark says he understands Englehart’s demanding standards. “They’re my standards too. The way they want things done and finished is second to none and that is what I have based my own business on. I have passed this onto my team – it’s definitely been a win-win relationship on both sides. “I am very happy to know that my company has been working for Englehart for more than 30 years. Englehart has one of the best reputations for quality in Victoria, if not Australia. The quality of their homes is phenomenal.” When Mark started working for Englehart he was just two years out of an award-winning apprenticeship: “I understood quality, and it was how I wanted to work.” He says everything Englehart does is to the next level – “we all love the work because every home is different and challenging.”

La Provence A passion for living

With the grandeur of a French chateau and the refined nobility of a Parisian residence, La Provence by Englehart Homes offers a rare partnership of uncompromising quality that you and your visitors are destined to fall in love with.

rom its grand, colonnade entrance and bluestone paving, to its Juliet balcony and delicate, customized wrought iron cresting a traditional slate mansard roof, this statement home can’t help but impress and charm. To achieve a truly French provincial ambience, Englehart has worked with specialist architects to create a stately residence which can be tailored to your requirements. Elegant French casement windows are a charming and integral element throughout the home. They create the much-admired, characteristic symmetry of French provincial styling and also capture views, maximise natural light and imbue each room with European refinement.

A passion for living

La Provence’s imposing masonry façade is softened with classic mouldings and groovings, referencing French architecture but interpreted by Englehart to achieve a unique look. The overall effect is a building that could be several centuries old but with state-of-the-art contemporary amenities including integrated audio, lighting, home theatre and an outdoor entertainment area. The flexible floor plan can vary from three to five bedrooms plus study/ guest room. Similarly, the garage can be designed to accommodate two or three cars or reconfigured to provide basement garaging and living areas. The entire home integrates historical detail, impeccable workmanship, clever zoning and modern technology into a seamless, harmonious whole. Details such as the fanlight front door, French oak parquetry floors, French doors, leadlight casement windows, grand spiral staircase, exterior and interior colonnades and extravagant use of marble create an authenticity that is grand yet welcoming. A soaring foyer of freestanding and engaged columns introduces the formal living area: an airy, aristocratic space with a marble fireplace and glassed cabinetry. Architectural features such as skirts, architraves, door surrounds, cornices and lofty decorative ceilings, evoke the grand proportions of Versailles. 28

THE ENTIRE HOME INTEGRATES HISTORICAL DETAIL, IMPECCABLE WORKMANSHIP, CLEVER ZONING AND MODERN TECHNOLOGY INTO A SEAMLESS, HARMONIOUS WHOLE.

To the left of the entrance foyer a handsome and generous study/guest room has built-in shelving and storage. To the right, there’s a luxuriously appointed powder room/guest marble bathroom and a laundry with ample storage. Discreetly located beyond the main mirrored foyer a vestibule allows secure internal access to the garage and a lift.   A spectacular showpiece, the central staircase leads to three en-suite bedrooms and an upper living zone. The staircase’s intricate handcrafted wrought iron features Englehart’s signature heart motif. Overhead a huge, leadlight dome inlaid with 1260 individual pieces of coloured glass is an extraordinary focal point and floods the home with natural light. Beyond the staircase French doors reveal a vast kitchen and entertainment space with a substantial waterfall marble island bench. Behind the streamlined European-style kitchen with ceiling canopy and soft-closing cabinetry, is a concealed butler’s pantry with marble prep areas and integrated fridge and freezer and wine racks. A sweeping curved window wraps around a dining area that could easily seat 12 to 14 guests. The adjacent loggia is a European-style, outdoor room with square colonnades, a moulded plaster ceiling, an outdoor kitchen, and TV and audio facilities. A stunning 11.5-metre infinity edge pool completes the picture. A retreat of an even more restful variety is found upstairs, in the grand main bedroom. Situated at the front of the house and opening onto a marble-paved Juliet balcony over La Provence’s portico, this is a sumptuous sanctuary fit for royalty. A seven-star, luxury en suite with wall to ceiling marble tiles and a decadent, freestanding bath is final evidence that for those with a passion for living, La Provence is the most aspirational choice.

Sustainable Englehart. A leader in environmental sustainability At Englehart Homes we have been leading environmental sustainability in home design and construction from the opening of our first display home in 1980.

ur innovation and leadership was recognised in the first Victorian and Australian awards for housing energy efficiency in 1984 and 1986. We have continued to develop innovations and efficiencies so that today our design process ensures your home will not cost the earth but will help preserve it. We emphasise room zoning, proportions and visual flow through door and window locations and incorporate key environmental opportunities such as cross ventilation and optimal daylight use into our designs. Energy efficiency is of the utmost importance; Englehart ensures your final design will achieve a six star-plus formal rating. As a proud leader in sustainability, Englehart adopts ground breaking technologies to create healthier lifestyles and living environments.

Our recommendations: Solar Electricity CSR Bradford Solar Charge Pack, including a Tesla Powerwall storage battery, and premium polycrystalline solar panels for generation. The charge pack provides the average Australian home with 90 per cent of its electrical requirements and assures security of supply.

The Wallara is designed inside and out for optimal sustainability. Its striking ultra-modern facade incorporates wide eaves to protect residents from harsh summer sun but invite winter warmth and a recessed entry excludes the elements year-round. Inside, contemporary interiors optimise passive solar design, natural light and ventilation.

Kitchen

trends

Twenty-first century kitchens are the heart of contemporary homes, providing the social and functional setting for everyday living and gathering with family and friends.

s kitchens have moved from the periphery to the centre of our homes and lives, they have also gained in brains and beauty – a sort of ‘beautility’. Today’s kitchens are stylish spaces of seamless luxe cabinetry that integrate a widening range of high-tech appliances and intelligent storage solutions. Our kitchens are now so important that many of us want two of them – one to gather at and consume food, and a second, hidden kitchen for the actual preparation and cooking, with its own walk-in pantry. In cabinetry there’s a continuing trend for minimal, sleek bespoke cabinetry without exposed handles but with easy to clean surfaces. Homebuyers look for the highest quality of cabinet finishes and stone benchtops in their main kitchen where they entertain family and friends, with designer lighting over a substantial island bench to emphasise the quality. Statement sinks and taps in black, white and brass and stainless steel finishes are an important part of a kitchen’s look and there’s a

YOU’LL LOVE SPACIOUS WALK-IN STORAGE, LENGTHS OF WINDOW AS SPLASHBACK AND HIGH general trend to lower sheen finishes which are more forgiving of marks and scratches. Instead of cupboards, self-closing drawers are being used under benches to store everything from pots to glasses and dinnerware. On trend home cooks prefer multiple ovens for various cooking types such as the popular steam oven and convection microwave oven, as well as general multi-function ovens. Easy access to ovens is important so they are built in at eye level with minimalist controls and flat glass facings. Then there are coffee makers, glass-fronted beverage chillers, high performance rangehoods and wine fridges. Many of the new appliances have smart technology and can be controlled via mobile apps. Intelligent design of storage is enhancing its functionality and ease of use. The German Hafele brand is the market leader in smart storage with a range that includes pull-down shelves, ‘magic’ corner units, pull-out pantry storage, bottle storage, drawer inserts, multiple pull-out rubbish bins for recycling and rubbish and much, much more.

Design solutions for sloping blocks

nglehart offers specialised, practical and energy efficient | solutions to all the problems posed by difficult sloping sites. Sloping blocks pose a number of challenges including energy use, ventilation, drainage and access. Expert at addressing these challenges, Englehart employs a variety of strategies, depending on the specifics of a site. They ensure houses built on sloping blocks are cost effective, environmentally conscious, well ventilated and properly drained, while optimising a site’s unique views and aspect.

Building on a sloping block is a challenge that not all home builders are willing to take on, but offers homeowners big rewards in views, aspects and design. 45

Design solutions

for sloping blocks

There are a number of building methods that can be matched to the specific challenges of your site. Englehart maintains it is better to work with a slope than to dig through it and avoids the ‘cut and fill’ technique that can lead to expensive drainage issues in the future. Using a clever split-level design with expansive windows, the 361-square metre (39 squares) four-bedroom Tri-Level home design encapsulates the essence of modern living with the flexibility of a ground-level main suite, open plan kitchen-dining-living engaging with an alfresco deck, an upper level sitting area and a study on each level. Englehart also designed the distinctive Grange especially for sloping blocks. The site-responsive architect-designed residence features innovative passive environmental design with expansive windows to take in natural outlooks. The 316-square metre plan incorporates a study next to the entry, a main suite and two additional bedrooms. Ideal for entertaining, the living areas are designed around an alfresco dining deck with a kitchen servery to the deck.

This client’s site has a significant slope of 11 metres from the rear to the front of the block with a beautiful view onto the Maribyrnong River. Adjoining homes on side boundaries restricted excavations. Englehart designed the house with upper level living rooms to take in the views and numerous split levels and terraces were incorporated to accommodate the slope and minimise excavations. Extensive windows maximise river views and internal courtyards were located to provide natural light and interest for rooms without river views.

The great

outdoors

Connecting indoor living space seamlessly with beautifully designed outdoor living is near the top of every Australian homebuyer’s wish list.

lfresco - covered outdoor living and entertainment – spaces add immense value to daily living as well as highly functional spaces to entertain and relax with family and friends. However, the seemingly effortless blurring of indoor and outdoor living requires design expertise, as well as high quality finishes and construction. Full-height bi-fold or stacking glass doors across the full width of one, two or three sides of an outdoor room will most effectively merge the spaces promoting an easy flow between inside and out. The proportions, finishes and layout of the outdoor space require the same meticulous attention and consideration as any indoor space. Homebuyers need to consider how they want to use the space – do they

“COMPLETE THE PICTURE WITH A FULL OUTDOOR KITCHEN WITH STONE BENCHTOPS, INTEGRATED BARBECUE AND WOK BURNER WITH A PLUMBED SINK AND DRINKS FRIDGE.” want space to seat large groups, and do they want to include lounging as well as dining space? Overhead cover is generally provided by an extension of the roofline; however part of the roof can be louvered to allow more sun in winter months. Depending on the style of the home, colonnades can effectively define an area. Natural stone or tile flooring and timber-lined ceilings will bring a sense of luxury outside. Complete the picture with a full outdoor kitchen with stone benchtops, integrated barbecue and wok burner with a plumbed sink and drinks fridge. Then it’s time to think about a pool… 65

Living large on narrow blocks As the density of our cities increases, there’s a corresponding rise in land value. Using intelligent design we can create generous living on narrow blocks.

owever with intelligent design you and your family can enjoy optimal space and light in a highly functional luxury home on a smaller or narrower block. To maximise the feeling of space and natural light, Englehart creates open airy layouts with a seamless flow and a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living. A light, monochromatic palette,

floor-to-ceiling windows and seamless, integrated joinery also contribute to the sensation of living large on a smaller block. Solar orientation is also vital; when a home and garden are designed to suit their site’s orientation, occupants can enjoy summer shade, winter sun and a stronger connection between indoors and outside year round.

ith this home the challenge was to design and build a full-sized four-bedroom home with outdoor living and a 10-metre pool on a tightly constrained 380-square metre site for under $1 million in Melbourne’s most tightly held private school zone. Innovative design and quality construction delivered an intelligent solution – a striking, modern double-storey home offering all of today’s aspirational features for family living. The 380-square metre home offers flexibility with three or four bedrooms, four or five living areas, a butler’s pantry, a study, an expansive main suite with a luxurious double en suite and dressing room, the choice of a ground floor guest suite, covered outdoor living, a larger double garage with adjoining workshop plus the 10-metre pool. A large multi-purpose room has an adjoining dual en suite/powder room- ideal as a guest suite but could also be a media room or formal living. A strategically sited roof window floods the kitchen with natural light and allows for further cabinetry. Outside, the home’s striking half portal façade creates the illusion of a floating roof and is finished with western red cedar, contrasting monochromatic renders and powder coated metal louvres that optimise light and privacy.

Deep thoughts

The latest basement trends

ith inner suburban land at a premium and homeowners looking for greater lifestyle options, more and more homebuyers are digging deep to create a whole new level of play, work and storage. As well as multi-car garages, homebuyers want theatre rooms, bars, gyms, saunas, steam rooms, wine cellars, home offices and storage rooms beneath their homes. Basements most often include a lift to whisk occupants between floors. Englehart Homes has considerable expertise and experience in the design and construction of basement levels which require expert engineering to manage water ingress, drainage and ventilation. In this four-level home the owner and his family can park in a five-car garage, walk a few steps to the gym for a work-out, shower, and then relax in a tiered theatre room with a sumptuous bar. Next they can select vintage wines from a large cellar, check on the home’s operations in the plant room or retrieve items from storage.

Living smarter

with lifestyle technology

Lifestyle technology aims to give you more of life’s most precious commodity.... time. Boutique Technologies offer the experience and expertise to deliver a system to complement and simplify your lifestyle.

et’s walk through the lifestyle tasks you do automatically when you get home at night. You pull up to your home and search for your clicker to open and close your garage. After parking you fumble with your keys in the dark to open your door and once inside move swiftly to disarm your alarm. Then you turn lights on to feel safe and comfortable, roll down blinds for privacy and set your climate control to an ideal temperature. Finally it’s time to turn on the TV or music to unwind but where is the remote, and do I remember how to use my AV setup? These are just a few of the manual steps we repeat subconsciously every day without questioning our efficiency. We’re now surrounded by lifestyle technologies; many look simple to implement however integrating technologies onto a single platform to simplify their collective use is another matter entirely. Your home lifestyle can be greatly simplified and enhanced when designed in partnership with an experienced lifestyle technology provider. We took you through seven steps above that many of us complete after getting home. With a professionally designed lifestyle technology system all seven steps can be automatically triggered and processed

from the moment you open your garage door through a security protected personal device. This single action to open your garage door can run a sequence of commands based on the user’s preferences. In this case, opening the garage door triggers the following; the entry door to unlock (Access Control), the home to Disarm (Security), selected lights to turn on (Lighting Control), selected blinds to close (Blind Control), the home HVAC to turn on to a set temperature (Climate Control) and the TV or Audio system to turn on your preferred choice of entertainment (Audio Visual) all within a single initial press of a button that is tailored to process your preferences. Professionally implemented lifestyle technology not only adds features to your home; it makes your life easier. Anything is possible but early planning is the key to a well-designed lifestyle technology system which is discrete, aesthetically pleasing, functional and reliable. The award-winning team at internationally renowned Boutique Technologies can sit down with you and discuss your individual needs, look through your home plans and spend the time to understand how you and your family use your space. Director Reuben Rego says it’s essential for the Boutique Technologies team to understand your daily routines and most essential lifestyle needs to facilitate the most intelligent solution, no matter how large or small your home may be. “Our experience and skill allows us to think laterally, to create and deliver concepts and robust systems that were previously unheard of,” Reuben says. “Our team of diversely skilled professionals has a depth of knowledge that can only come from thousands of hours of specialised practice and experience in solving, tailoring and delivering technical requests.”

Testimonials <

We were immediately impressed with the quality of workmanship and attention to detail. It was clearly evident that Englehart Homes have access to quality trades and don’t cut corners. The construction manager was outstanding in his service and attitude. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Englehart Homes to my family and friends. Paul and Sonia B – Balwyn

Having sold homes in the City of Manningham for 18 years, the name Englehart was something I was very familiar with. Whenever I was fortunate enough to market an Englehart-built home, I knew was selling a home of superior design and construction. The decision to use Englehart was a relatively easy one. From the design stage, planning stage, right through to construction and completion, the Englehart team were exceptional. I have already recommended, and will continue to recommend anyone in the future considering building a home to speak with the Englehart team. They have earnt their strong reputation.

Dallas and Jane T – Park Orchards

The Englehart team took the time to go through everything we needed to know before we had even bought the land. They included everything we wanted in the design and so we were very comfortable with the process. Our project manager was exceptional. Our home is exquisite and our kitchen and butler’s pantry are a chef’s dream. We particularly love the handcrafted lead light dome skylight over the central stairs. We will build with Englehart again, and always recommend them to friends and family. Busola and Kunle A – Camberwell

We chose Englehart Homes to build our new home because our narrow and sloping block required careful design and an innovative builder. We needed a passionate, reputable and trusted builder to deliver our dream home. We got to know Ron and his team and experienced their support and involvement from design to delivery and after care. They were very professional, calm and patient; this was our first building experience.

GB S and Malkith K - Doncaster

We have been fortunate to have Englehart Homes as builders for four of our projects. With most builders in Melbourne, one gets what one pays for. ..with Englehart you get more. It is the after sales service and prompt attendance to any issue that arises, whether it is with the local Council or with utility providers that sets your organisation apart from the others. Kamal and Cyrus D - Blackburn

We have spent the last couple of weeks living in the home you built for us. We feel like we are staying at the Shangri-la! The quality and the feel are unique. Your build quality is something special. I would be more than happy to speak to prospective clients. George and Niki P Balwyn North

Testimonials We love the functionality of our home, it is very light with plenty of windows and the colour scheme also extends the sense of light and space.

Our project manager was very accommodating; we visited the site often and it was never a problem. Janine and Geoff B - Mont Albert

There were no unexpected costs. If things started to get expensive, the Englehart team worked with us to bring it back to budget. The quality of their work was phenomenal, from the carpenters to the tilers, they were all stupendous. They were real artisans working on our home. It’s sophisticated and beautiful and everything we dreamt of. Rodney and Narelle D - McCrae

We feel we have found our builder for life. Michael and Marta F – Camberwell

We had a look around at various builders and then we saw Englehart’s Kooyong display; we knew that Englehart has a first-class reputation as a custom builder and we chose to build a single storey version of the Kooyong design. We now have a spacious, contemporary single storey home that we love living in. All of the Englehart team were outstanding and particularly our project supervisor; we didn’t have a single hitch during our build.

Geoff and Judy W - Glen Iris

After our extensive research and visiting other luxury custom display homes, family and friends strongly recommended Ron Englehart and his company. This was our first building project.

Lucas Morris’ highly regarded, multi-award winning Sanctuary has been further enhanced with the launch of a new Sanctuary home design.

Sanctuary L

ike the original Sanctuary, the new Sanctuary is designed as a stylish, solidly built four-bedroom brick and render family haven that can be customised for individual families. Also like the original, the new home is 381 square metres (41 squares) and features double-storey colonnades framing the front entry and upstairs main bedroom, and deep Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired eaves for sun protection. As with all Lucas Morris homes, buyers can also select or create their own façade and change layouts and finishes. This versatility sets Lucas Morris homes apart with most becoming ‘one-offs’. Modern living convenience shapes Sanctuary’s new layout; the double garage connects to the laundry which flows to a butler’s pantry (or second kitchen) and on to the kitchen-dining-living area. Further refinements include a ground floor guest suite with large en suite and walk-in wardrobe, and a large integrated study alcove. The living zone hugs two sides of a 26-square metre covered entertainment terrace, with full-height stacking glass doors integrating indoor and outdoor space. Upstairs the main suite has dual walk-in wardrobes and a dual-vanity en suite. A central rumpus room buffers three further bedrooms – two with walk-in wardrobes and one with a built-in wardrobe – and the family bathroom. 143

The

Created for homebuyers seeking affordable luxury with the convenience of single-level living, the 260-square metre (28- square) Villa Nova makes an ideal inner suburban choice.

he Villa Nova has been carefully designed by award-winning Lucas Morris Homes for a typical 15.2-metre wide inner city block to deliver a perfect balance of quality, function, style and value for money. A major feature of the three to four-bedroom home is its dramatic front façade. Distinguished pillars and distinctive front windows give the house an imperial style with an overriding impression of stately dignity. The front entry porch is impressive – long narrow glass panels on either side of the door contrast with the vertical glass inserts within the door itself. From a stunning and expansive main bedroom on the left of the tiled entry, the fully-fitted walk-through wardrobes lead to a luxurious twin-vanity en suite. Beyond the main bedroom is a beautifullyproportioned formal living room with double glazed doors leading onto a full-width terrace.

Opposite formal living, homebuyers have the choice of a study or fourth bedroom. There’s a convenient powder room en route to the spacious family area which is anchored by a massive kitchen island. The galley-style kitchen also features stainless steel appliances and a large butler’s pantry with wet bar and ample storage. The vast family room and dining area feature an abundance of natural light with sliding glass doors through to the spacious outdoor entertaining area. The home has been specifically designed to maximise natural light year-round and optimise the winter sun as part of its integrated passive environmental design and excellent energy efficiency rating. The zoned layout makes the property ideal for families with children seeking their own space. The second and third bedrooms are located at the opposite end of the house, in their own separate wing with a central bathroom, off the family room. ■

Outlooks and family living were the top priorities for Lucas Morris Homes in the design and construction of this contemporary 340-square metre double-storey home on an elevated hillside site with a natural fall of six metres.

Elevated living

he design brief was to create a light-filled family home with well-defined zones for work and play, including generously-appointed outdoor living overlooking a meticulously landscaped backyard featuring a pool, cabana and lower level retreat. The corner site provided an opportunity for a wide and substantial façade that combines brick and render, anchored by an imposing stacked stone pier. The foyer opens to a study with recessed glazing onto a courtyard garden; the extensive family living zone has two walls of bi-fold doors around a covered outdoor room. ■

Family focused Family living and entertaining are at the heart of this stylish 303-square metre three-bedroom single-storey home.

At the front of the home, the main suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and luxurious en suite. A second living space, study and powder room separate the main suite from family living. Elegantly offset, slabs of large format bluestone pavers overlap, giving the appearance of floating over landscaping towards the front door. ■
