The contemporary residence located on Ercildoune St was built by Shoalhaven Constructions to use natural light as its main design feature. Large floor-to-ceiling windows were abundant, lighting the home with a soft glow that was complemented by a sleek, modern white-toned palette, designed by architect Tom Koroneos.

With floor-to-ceiling windows used as a statement feature of the home (though the property was in close proximity to nearby residencies), it was important to utilise window covering solutions that would enhance, rather than detract from, the beauty of the natural light-based design, whilst also providing privacy when required.

Tip Top Blinds was brought in during the early stages of the interior design project, ensuring sophisticated window furnishing solutions were organised and implemented early in the process.

Both style and ease of use were of highest priority, particularly through the implementation of motorisation in many areas of the home, allowing for effortless control over every window covering with just the click of a button. This early-stage planning allowed for more sophisticated and elegant design solutions, including recessed plaster in the family room, installation of motorisation when electricians arrived, and the creation of space for curtains behind the joinery.

This allowed for luxurious details, including bedroom curtains that puddled delicately at the floor behind the bench seat. White sheer curtains were hung across floor-to-ceiling walls, adding an elegant design feature that allowed the designer furniture to take centre stage. Shutters were installed to bedroom and front-facing windows, allowing natural light in the room while obscuring close proximity to adjacent properties.

The result was a stunning contemporary home that allowed natural light to dance elegantly and softly across the home — as the expertly crafted architecture deserved — without sacrificing privacy or functionality.
