Three circuits, one bathroom
Vanity, shower and general lighting were each wired separately, so the room can be as bright or as quiet as the hour requires.

The Brief
How this home came to be.
Amaroo's growth corridor is full of project-home repeats, so the brief here was simple: don't look like the house next door. The ensuite became the clearest expression of that — a fully tiled wet-room shower, a floating double vanity, and lighting run on three separate dimmable circuits.
Because it replaced an existing home on a titled block, services, driveway and fencing all had to be temporarily maintained for the family's rental next door — a logistics puzzle solved by staging demolition around their timeline, not ours.

Photographs
On site.
Shot over three visits — dawn, midday and dusk — so the material palette reads the way the family will actually live in it.
What's inside
The specification, in plain English.
Every line here is something we insisted on — not something added to fatten a quote.
- 01Full wet-room ensuite with floor-to-ceiling tiling
- 02Floating double vanity on three dimmable lighting circuits
- 03Frameless glass shower with a rain-head and hand-held mixer
- 04Demolition staged around a neighbouring family rental's access
- 05Ducted zoned air conditioning, 7-star thermal envelope
- 06Solar-ready switchboard pre-wired for future battery storage
Signature moments
The things worth
pointing out.
Small decisions that only reveal themselves once you're living in the house. These are ours for this project.
Built around a neighbour's routine
Demolition and early works were staged specifically so the family renting next door kept uninterrupted driveway access throughout.
Ready for what's next
The switchboard was pre-wired for a future battery, so solar expansion later won't mean reopening the wall.
Where it stands
Amaroo,
Canberra Surrounds.
