Villa in the country

In any large project, a high standard of finish is dependent on the attention to detail from both the design team and the builder. For the Coatesville house, Nautica Homes provided the construction expertise that ensured the design parameters were met.

Tony Fraser, director of Nautica Homes, says the most challenging aspect of the project was making a new home look and feel old, and aesthetically pleasing.

"The combination of building materials helped us achieve the required look," he says. "The use of Peter Fell coloured concrete, the Espana Ceramica roof tiles, the special plaster finish and limewash paint finish all contributed to the overall effect."

Nautica Homes specialises in design and build projects, and frequently works with Masonry Design Solutions on high-end residential homes.

"Attention to detail and quality workmanship are the essential attributes that make all the difference to the look of a finished project," says Fraser.
