In a hectic, fast-paced world, the idea of putting down roots with a home that will endure for generations to come is especially appealing.

It's a concept taken to heart by Fairlight Developments, a company that designs and builds high-end custom homes that offer that sense of security and permanence.

Director Henry Ayala says Fairlight's team is experienced in the design and construction of modern, transitional and traditional homes, such as the award-winning 900m² period home featured on these pages.

"For homes such as this, we employ traditional carpentry techniques that allow extremely accurate detailing," he says. "We also use materials that will go the distance. For example, the walls are not just clad in limestone, they are built from it. There is a solidity and substance to the home that cannot be replicated by the use of inferior materials."

Ayala says the stone walls, pitched roof and deep verandas complement the home's riverside setting and enhance the traditional aesthetic.

On the interior, however, the traditional detailing comes with every modern convenience. The house incorporates an eight-car basement garage, lift, and spacious formal and informal living areas. Period detailing in the kitchen includes a hearth-style cooking centre, display shelving with plate racks, and a solid timber benchtop with corbels.

The property also has an infinity-edge swimming pool.

Ayala says innovation is a point of difference every Fairlight home is a custom design response to a specific set of requirements.

"Just as no two families are the same, so are our homes different. But they all reflect the same attention to detail."
