Mondo Exclusive Homes Project 14

Overlooking the marina in Mindarie, this stylish, contemporary double-storey abode offers a ‘whole lot of home’ on a compact building site of just 336sqm. With large terrace areas and an open-plan design, Mondo Exclusive Homes has created a dwelling that allows the owners to enjoy the coastal ambience.

Two-tone render pairs with the striking angular lines of the front façade, softened by a central timber-framed doorway and warm timber lining on the eaves. The raised entry of the home has been finished in polished concrete with exposed aggregate, which immediately sets the overarching modern minimalist style, incorporating just a touch of the industrial aesthetic.

At the centre of the lower floor open-plan living space is the clean-cut designer kitchen, boasting a sense of class and simplicity. Sleek black and timber veneer cabinetry contrasts with white marble tiles and an engineered stone benchtop to create a stylish and sophisticated space, perfect for cooking and entertaining.

Surrounding the kitchen is a spacious living area. The open-plan design and the white Dulux-painted walls work together to create a bright and airy atmosphere, whilst contributing to the sense of spaciousness throughout the interior. Wall-mounting the TV was a clever way to increase room for lounge furniture without looking cluttered.

Several sliding and folding glass doors provide a seamless flow between the living area and the terrace, letting in plenty of natural sunlight. Alfresco dining was chosen in lieu of an indoor dining space, connecting the outside and the in.

The barbecue, fit with a mini fridge and two side benches, will cater to all family and entertaining needs. Not wanting to let a single square-inch of the land to go to waste, Mondo Exclusive Homes took proper advantage of the available yard space. Leading out from the terrace is fresh green turf and a plunge pool, backed by a feature brick wall. Around the back, the landscaping is kept neat and simple with room for children to run around and play.

Separate from the three bedrooms on the first storey is the upstairs master suite, a self-contained hideaway best used as a parents’ retreat. The sizeable master bedroom – replete with dangling pendant lights, a walk-in robe and en suite – opens up onto a private kitchenette and lounge area via double timber doors. Here, the homeowners can relax, have a drink, step out onto the generous balcony and enjoy the magnificent views. This cosy yet open hideaway shows that Mondo Exclusive Homes really thought of everything, raising the standard for everyday living.

Akin to the kitchen, the bathrooms consist of a welcoming contrast between the cool grey tiles and warm timber cabinetry. Both the main bathroom and en suite contain touches of luxury, with a freestanding tub in one and his-and-hers shower heads and sinks in the other. Matte black tapware and backlit mirrors elevate the overall style for a consistent contemporary feel.
