Neater Constructions - Awards |
 |
Cairns locally Owned Neater Constructions have done it again!
The Queensland Master Builders have awarded Neater Constructions “House of the Year” for Queensland and North
Queensland along with 5 other awards at the inaugural QMBA Awards night at the Cairns and Brisbane Convention Centre 2006.
The home is located North of Port Douglas at a place where glittering green merges into blue; the only place on
earth where two world heritage-listed sites exist alongside each other, the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree
Rainforest of Cape Tribulation. This is a magic place where life moves to a different rhythm; up there the air is
different, more humid, the sky open and vast and the water a glittering emerald green. It's Paradise.
When it comes to inspiration, striking design elements can be easily implemented within residential home design.
However it is more than mere design elements that people want to incorporate into their personal space. It’s the
memory of how a place makes you feel while you’re there, that makes you want to recreate that environment in your
home; feelings of being simultaneously relaxed, comfortable, creatively inspired, fundamentally cheered up, and
(if you’re lucky) enlightened by a new take on life. Such is the result of John and Sally’s new home North of Port
Douglas. Quote “Our home is very modern and contemporary, with all the latest features. At the same time, it’s still
very welcoming and warm. The design of the home flows, which is what makes it homely” comments John.
To achieve this open, flowing design, Col Neate suggested a series of sprawling villas with floor to ceiling bi-fold
doors and banks of louvre windows, to act as linked “open-plan living areas to accommodate subtropical living and also
take in the stunning views.” In this home, the waterfront is as much as part of the overall design as the kitchen or
sitting room. From the back of the home, one gazes out across absolute beachfront framed by coconut trees, whilst the
entrance is offset by an elongated pool – complete with illusion edge, cascading water feature and verdant, tropical
landscaping. It’s this wonderful pool area that can be seen from most rooms, adding to the relaxed ambiance of the home,
and gaining a place as the owner’s favourite feature. “We love the entrance and pool area of our home. It’s impressive
but inviting at the same time.”
Like cogs in a wheel, the diverse elements of the home – landscaping, pool, interior, and overall home design – work
well with each other. This is no accident. “Neater Constructions enthusiastically took on a project management role”
say John and Sally. “They recommended quality contractors for us to use for things like our kitchen, landscaping and
interior design. We’re delighted with the service we’ve received. And the results!”
