Reflected glory

Not everyone has the wherewithal to live in a grand residence and by the same token, not all designer-builders think on a large scale. If you want to ensure every square metre of your expansive section is used to optimum effect, it makes sense to choose a design-and-build company with a flair for upscale residences.

This is the specialty of Denton Homes, says managing director David Denton.

"Essentially, we build upmarket rural properties," says Denton. "Acreage sites accommodate our designs better, as the average home we build is around 1000m² and all on one level around double the size of a standard residential block.

"Our clients are usually looking to create an individualistic home with a focus on lifestyle. Denton designs include a raft of outdoor lifestyle components, as well as every interior comfort."

For this house, the client wanted a design with French Provincial origins that was well suited to entertaining, and included every modern feature.

"A porte-cochere and dramatic front door create a sense of arrival for guests, for example," he says. "Inside, a barrel-vaulted ceiling, with a hand-painted fresco, is reminiscent of a French chateau."

Other welcoming features include a billiard room, high-tech home theatre, a tennis court and a pool, spa and sauna.

"Every Denton Home reflects our craftsmanship, strong architectural design and high-end finishes," Denton says.
