Scope of Project

From the very beginning, the Trinity Beach Project presented with its own set of unique challenges. Located on Earl Hill in Queensland, the slope of the block meant our design would need to be carefully constructed to take into account the sloping block without compromising on the aesthetics of the surrounding rainforest reserve. The gradient block, along with its location of being in a tropical setting that can be prone to flooding, meant we had to ensure the earthwork and drainage for the block was designed with the specific needs of preventing flooding in the wet season. 
The client brief was very particular; which meant we worked within a tight set of expectations that still needed to fall within the budget. The client wanted to incorporate a nostalgic feel from his family’s Queenslander style home and pair it with a more modern overall design that also encompassed the far north Queensland style of living. 
We chose to work with spotted gum timber internally and externally to ensure the tropical lifestyle really shone through the entire home. We achieved this through a custom made spotted gum timber stair case complete with spotted gum timber custom made handrail and spotted gum timber custom made non-structural slats screen to elevate the aesthetic. 

We helped to accentuate these features by ensuring we took advantage of light. Whether it be natural light or carefully considered lighting choices, it helped draw attention to the texture, colours and form of space in and around the home. 
By adding timber floors, a plunge pool, and timber decking to the external of the home, we perfectly met the client brief in a seamless cross over of Queenslander and modern. The open plan living design complete with large sliding glass doors to take advantage of the easterly breeze really cemented our blend of Queenslander and modern design in this home. 

As one final nod to the tropical lifestyle meets modern design, we finished the exterior of the home with 2 different colours. The bottom level in Dulux Monument to hit the brief of modern, and the top level in Dulux Flinders green to have it compliment the surroundings of the Earl Hill nature reserve.

Liam excelled and exceeded in my expectations. First of all I found him to be trusted, reliable and he was great in his communication on an ongoing basis throughout the whole process. In the beginning he attended the site and gave advice free of charge. He has an eye for detail and aims to produce real solid quality as if it were to be his own home that he’s building. He listened carefully throughout the process and used common sense and his extensive experience to tailor to my wishes of design to get an affordable, practical and aesthetically pleasing result. He takes real pride in his own craftsmanship and works great as a team with his wife Hyaesil, whose colour choices were right on every occasion. He demands that any third parties produce the same high quality that he expects from his own work. He is a local craftsman at the top of his profession and I would use him again and would recommend him to all.
