From striking features like cathedral ceilings and skillion roofs to practical additions like carports and wall-hung vanities, these are the little details that elevate a home.

Cathedral Ceilings

Cathedral ceilings instantly elevate the look and feel of a home, creating a sense of space, light, and luxury. Adding ceiling height—whether through a raked, vaulted, or cathedral style—can make even modest rooms feel grand and open. It’s a popular upgrade for living areas or master bedrooms, helping to draw in natural light, improve airflow, and add architectural interest that enhances both comfort and resale appeal.

Raked Ceilings / Skillion Roof

Raked ceilings, often achieved with a skillion roof design, are a stunning architectural upgrade that adds height, light, and visual interest to any space. The sloping ceiling line draws the eye upward, creating a sense of openness and flow. This design works beautifully in living areas and kitchens, and can also allow for highlight windows to bring in extra natural light. It’s a modern, airy look that many of our clients love.

Upgraded Front Door

Your front door sets the tone for your entire home—why not make it a standout? Upgrading your front door allows you to choose a statement timber profile, add glass panels for light, or paint it any colour you like to suit your style. It’s a small change that makes a big impact, adding personality and street appeal while creating a warm welcome every time you come home.

Floor to Ceiling Tiling

Floor-to-ceiling tiling is a popular bathroom upgrade that instantly adds a sleek, high-end finish. It not only looks luxurious but also makes cleaning easier and helps protect walls from moisture over time. This seamless look can visually enlarge the space and lets your tile choice shine—whether you prefer bold patterns or soft, neutral tones. It’s a practical and stylish way to elevate your bathroom design.

Carport

A carport is a practical upgrade that adds real value to your home. It provides covered parking to protect your vehicle from the elements and can double as extra outdoor space for entertaining or storage. Designed to complement your home, a carport offers convenience and peace of mind—especially in harsh sun or wet weather—while improving street appeal and functionality day-to-day.

Vertical Cladding

Vertical cladding is one of those standout features that always gets attention—especially when it appears in our concept renders. It adds a modern, architectural look that’s clean and eye-catching. While it’s a specialist cladding option that comes at a premium, many clients love the unique character and texture it brings to a home’s exterior. If you’re after serious street appeal, vertical cladding is a high-impact design choice worth considering.

Highlight Windows

Highlight windows serve two powerful purposes in home design. Positioned high on a wall, they can bring in natural light while maintaining privacy—perfect for media rooms or bathrooms. But they also work beautifully to frame a view, like a sweeping rural outlook above a kitchen splashback. Whether for practicality or to celebrate your surroundings, highlight windows are a stylish, functional upgrade that enhances both light and ambience.
