The Flinders House is just one example of Darnley's custom built homes. Designed by b.e. Architects and built to accommodate an extended family, this 400 m2 home is testament to Darnley's ability to manage extensive construction projects, deliver on time and with an immaculate finish - trademarks which set it apart from other building companies.
Darnley has delivered an outstanding final product that meets the original brief in terms of finish and quality. A variety of building materials were used to create an environment that is a mix of rural and modern, delivering unique elements throughout the home such as timber, steel, glass, natural stone; within the living and entertaining areas, on balconies, in the kitchen and fireplace surrounds. The home is situated on one of the most exposed sites on the Peninsula with its category one wind load, providing specific building challenges for the Darnley team. Special attention has been paid to addressing this environmental factor throughout the building process to ensure the home is secure against the elements.
The exquisite home consists of three double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and powder room, large study, combined dining/sitting area, lounge, large kitchen, television/playroom, studio and diverse outdoor entertaining areas. The extensive floor plan and landscaped gardens, which include an artificial waterway, required Darnley to coordinate a variety of stone and timber craftsmen and trade professionals to realise the creative vision. The completed home has been featured in a number of architectural and lifestyle publications, placing it in the very top tier of Australian coastal homes.
