42 Style | Architecture It was the cedar panelling that got people talking. Emma Robinson laughs as she recalls the builders saying people were pulling up in their vehicles to ask about the colour of the cedar on the garage. And it’s easy to see why. The stunning tone of the cedar, especially when lit up with the subtle outdoor lighting, encompasses the key objective for this build – to provide warmth. Despite a two-year search, Emma and her husband Logan couldn’t find the right property that spoke to them. After a stint in the United Kingdom, where even older homes are doubleglazed and have central heating, they wanted a place where their family would be snug. Instead of adapting to what someone else had built, they decided to tailor-make their home. Feature wallpaper in the media room creates a textured look. TOP: Emma and Logan wanted wood floors, but with two children who love to play the scratch-proof laminate was a perfect compromise. ABOVE: The window seat with bookcase is a family-favourite place. Though they hadn’t built before, they didn’t let that deter them. Instead they brought in a team from DJ Hewitt who managed everything for them, from the due diligence on the land before the auction and relocation of the existing house to the landscape and interiors. “Daryl [Hewitt] came to visit us and everything snowballed from there,” says Emma. “He helped us find our architect and came to all our architect meetings as well, which is what we needed because we were a bit naïve.” Emma was apprehensive about her own design nous and initially veered towards simple colours. But soon she had eye-catching feature wallpaper in the media room and by the entrance. And that was due to not only a clever design friend, but the expertise of Tara Hewitt of DJ Hewitt. “She took me around all the bathroom, tile and appliance shops and pointed me in the right direction. She was so good at narrowing it down before I even got there,” Emma enthuses. “I’ve had friends that have built and they have said, ‘I’ve got a thousand choices of door handles,’ whereas it was so straightforward with Tara.” And the result is a beautiful cohesion from outside to in. The home is filled with a wondrous amount of light from the many windows. The sliding doors that lead to the deck open from both sides at an almost right angle, creating a seamless joining of living room, dining room and deck. What the family wanted was a warm home filled with light. They achieved that and so much more in their personalised paradise.
