Urban Penny mosaics, from Odin Tiles, feature on both a ledge shower wall and shower soap niche in this bathroom – adding texture and detailing at the same time  

The mix of finishes specified for this kitchen includes engineered benchtops with a semi-industrial aesthetic – implying a well-used workspace

This home is designed and built with the rigours of the Passive House Standard front of mind – material choices merge with the land while planning optimises outlooks and outdoor living
