This family-oriented G.J. Gardner showhome has a feeling of serenity throughout, with spaces organised for entertaining, outdoor living and privacy

Nothing says character like dark and moody, as exampled in this bathroom with a Vela 1700 freestanding bath in charcoal – may the atmosphere be with you

The built-in wardrobes in this bedroom may once have held previous owner Cher's famous 'nude' dress that she wore when accepting an Oscar

Can't put your finger on why this bathroom has a refined air? Well the clue is right there with antique finger tiles forming a feature wall behind the tub

It's not just weather that can make things cool – this bedroom, part of a wider interior makeover, is transformed with a tactile headboard, a cosy area rug and soft furniture 

This sheltered outdoor room with integrated BBQ and black steel-formed fireplace can be enjoyed year round – it also has a slight indoor feel

This outdoor living space was inspired by sleek, low-lying American West-Coast Modernism – the pavilion's skylights allow natural light to inform the al fresco space

The warmth of pine is a feature of this renovation, seen here on the ceiling and skylight directly above a widened staircase – optimising natural light on the floor below

This kitchen's island, benchtop, splashback and scullery walls are in Dekton Shell Liquid – capturing the look of water movement beneath the surface

There's nothing like mesh cabinet panel inserts to add to that farmhouse feel – perhaps a throw back to pre-refrigeration, where mesh panels kept things breezy, cool and fresh

No, a family member hasn't just walked the entire forest floor inside – rather an area rug with autumnal shapes and tones connects visually with the outlook

This functional kitchen connects with the home's Italian/French design accents – a warm, relaxing vibe results
