LHG Developments
Special Commendation – Best Custom Home $1M-$2M
About the winning project
Artisan House in Melbourne’s Kew is a striking two-level, 483sq m, five-bedroom and five-bathroom family residence, designed by WALL Architects. LHG Developments was involved from the initial feasibility stages, through to project management and delivery across all the trades. The builder’s custom-building skills and craftsmanship can be seen throughout. The project features 25 soaring columns, a spectacular 7.3m high front door, and extensive 3.7m glass doorways that open to a landscaped pool area. The interiors showcase the builder’s attention to detail, as seen in the sweeping central staircase, which is carefully hand-rendered in microcement to complement the plastered interior walls and architectural columns. The kitchen features layers of marble, with a sprawling island bench complemented by a curved marble splashback that extends to the ceiling. The concave design adds a highly articulated and intricate detail, blending seamlessly with marble-faced cabinetry.
