Brisbane Architecture Gains a Remarkable Resort-Style Home
House Tour of The Retreat
Mati Constructions’ exemplary attention to detail is tangible at The Retreat — a contemporary house that raises the bar for Brisbane architecture.
Featuring five beds, five baths, and four living spaces, there is ample opportunity to incorporate intriguing design features.
Join us as we take a closer look inside.
This resort-style home instantly grounds you upon entry, with its neutral palette cultivating a sense of calm. The tactility of timber, French limestone, and fluted detailing reminds you that this is a space to be felt, not just seen.
A palatial undertone is drawn from the open-plan living area, where the borders between indoor and outdoor spaces are gently erased.
Warm, peaceful hues permeate each room to achieve a feeling of cohesion, but care has been taken to surpass aesthetic monotony.
The modern design seeks a satisfying balance of brushed brass and white tapware, showcasing the versatility of the respective finishes.
Natural light is also a key design feature, with windows thoughtfully placed to punctuate beige tones with bursts of illumination.
In the kitchen, the light dances upon the golden surface of the pull-out kitchen mixer and stainless steel sink to emphasise their radiance.
In the bathroom, it plays with the concept of dimension, emphasising the depth of the semi-inset basins and a seemingly bottomless bathtub.
Form and function are given equal attention within the interiors, celebrating the notion that no sacrifices are necessary.
The fluted bath and raw stone details spark visual stimulation, while the inclusion of two hand showers and a rain shower afford all the options you’d need to tailor a spa-like bathing experience.
The opportunities for relaxation extend beyond the bathroom in this contemporary house design, establishing it as the underlying theme from the bedroom to the open fire pit that invites you to venture outside.
