Hidden treasure

There has been a sea change in the design of family homes in the past few decades. Today, so much more is expected and delivered, but the most obvious change centres on the hub of the home and the circulation areas around this.

Starr Constructions, a specialist in design and construction, created this modern, design-focused home. But there was no question of sacrificing comfort in fact it was right up there as a priority, says director Nino Sanzari.

"The client sees this home as his castle, just like his artwork is his passion," he says.

Special features of the interior include a large family living area that opens to a covered loggia overlooking an in-ground pool, a theatre room, five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a separate lounge. With floor-to-ceiling glazing, the pool seems to lap right up against the lounge room. The kitchen features Miele kitchen appliances and 80mm Calacatta marble benchtops.

Starr Constructions, which was established more than 12 years ago, specialises in custom homes. Sanzari says the company's reputation and proven workmanship has resulted in many awards in recent years, including a Building Excellence Award from the Master Builders Association and an HIA NSW Housing Award.

"Every house is designed to suit the owners' lifestyle. Our professional designers meet with clients to discuss designs, and to address the logistics of building on each site."
