THE LAGUNA
To build our second development Hennessy Building Projects purchased 68 Laguna Avenue. Travis Quennell from Quennell Sustainable Building Designs designed the duplex with this property backing onto the beautiful Laguna Lake.
The aim was to build duplexes that had as much liveable space as possible on the block of land. This included fitting in a lap pool and entertainers deck for each dwelling to take advantage of the lake views. A double garage and wide side gates with video intercom were installed. Cladding systems are provided by James Hardies and Weathertex. Travertine stacker stone on the front column, entrance walls and pool coping breaks up the rest of cladding and gives a great feature to the homes.
Considering the limited block size, inside each unit is very spacious. High ceilings upstairs and downstairs gives the units a sense of space. We also managed to include 4 bedrooms and guest/study with a separate living area upstairs.
Finishes throughout are different in each unit as the buyers were able to choose between a range of stone tops, tiles, two pac or laminate cabinetry and other floor finishes. A butlers pantry under the stairs is a great use of space. Hurfords Spotted Gum flooring was used in Unit 1 and Blackbutt in Unit 2. A wide timber staircase for each unit is also a great feature – unit 1 with Durian and unit 2 with Blackbutt. Timber screening has been designed to keep privacy and lake views whilst also providing a secure pool fence.
