The eHaus Pacific is a Box Modern style home that is perfect for how the owners live now, and will easily adapt to any changes in the future.
This 250sqm, three-bedroom home is split over two levels, with distinctive floor to ceiling picture windows that make the most of the views out to sea and towards the hills.
In keeping with the home’s commitment to using quality materials, the striking exterior features hardworking Oblique™ Weatherboard by James Hardie which creates a modern aesthetic and helps the upper level stand out. The interior is designed to complement the way the couple like to live and entertain.
The upper level includes the main bedroom and a second living area with a kitchenette to provide independence and privacy when guests are staying.
Downstairs, an open-plan living and dining space opens to a covered patio with heating for year-round use.
The ventilated “closed kitchen” is a distinctive design feature. “It’s like an enlarged scullery. We call it the chef’s kitchen, and it has a sliding door to close it off. It is made for Chinese cooking which usually has strong aromas. We can stop them from wafting through the house as much as possible,” says Jee.
Nothing has been left to chance. The home is pre-wired for an internal lift should it be needed, solar panels on the roof and a 5000-litre water tank means they can be self-sufficient in an emergency.
