Lot 1 Veneris Street, Lockhart is a designed home with a difference.It's v-shape with one side facing north and the other side facing 'true north',meaning the point is facing west, gives maximum protection from the western weather while enjoying the solar gain from the northern sun.

The home's raked ceilings and celestial windows give it an open feeling with natural light flooding into the living areas.Curved and angled walls, changing ceiling heights, bulkheads both curved and straight,plus the use of custom orb,cement render, brickwork and blockwork mean the eye is continually drawn to the next interesting detail.

Large double glazed fixed panel windows made from blue veridian glass give a different perspective in both summer and winter.The kitchen is the centre point of most homes and this was an important feature for the clients.The kitchen's location means it is able to be used as formal and informal dining with the convenience of the outdoor entertaining area nearby.
