St James Unfinished Home to Completion
Project Overview
In St James, this striking two-storey home began as an unfinished property — a Nearly completed building that required an experienced builder to take over and complete to a high standard the build.
Our team stepped in to take the project from a liquidated builder to complete this beautifully presented residence, showcasing our expertise in finishing projects to a high standard.
Exterior Design & Street Appeal
From the moment you arrive, the home’s striking minimalist facade and complementary finishes set the tone. The rendered exterior in crisp white offers a clean, geometric look that reflects modern urban design principles. Vertical timber slats form a feature gate and fence, providing both security and privacy while softening the hardscape with natural texture.
The front yard incorporates exposed aggregate paving with a herringbone pattern, blending durability with a touch of sophistication. Subtle detailing and the uniform grey palette enhance the home’s architectural sharpness.
Side Garden & Soft Landscaping
A standout feature of this property is the side garden walkway—an inviting and practical addition that maximises the narrow space. Large, organically-shaped concrete pavers guide visitors through the neatly mulched garden bed. These stepping stones are surrounded by drought-tolerant plants and young trees, selected for their low-maintenance needs and year-round visual interest.
This thoughtful garden layout not only adds kerb appeal but also complements the clean geometry of the home, breaking up the stark white walls with natural, textured greenery.
