Akasha, a word found in ancient Hindi and Sanskrit relating to wide spaces or voids, lies nestled in the streets of Surrey Hills and features Stegbar’s range of products.
Akasha is inspired by the elements of earth, fire, water and air, yet goes beyond them to embody a truly Australian Modern look and lifestyle. The property embodies open plan living and a minimal design to create a one of a kind home.
Stegbar’s Alumiere range was a perfect fit for the modern Australian aesthetic as it creates an almost invisible wall that looks out onto to the pool and fire pit areas. The striking black frames also tied back to builder Comdain Homes’ use of natural rock within the home that ties it to the element of earth.
Throughout the upper floor, the Alumiere windows are accentuated with black hoods to avoid glaring light from the west in the evening and at midday throughout the summer months. This was part of the overall window solution developed in partnership with Stegbar’s experts to gain a six-star energy rating.
The ability to open up the lower level to the outside, facilitated by the Alumiere stacking doors, coupled with the Alumiere Aneeta and awning windows upstairs, also encouraged cross ventilation, using the element of air to create a more environmentally friendly home.
The Stegbar Frameless shower screens feature in the bathroom to draw the eye to the materials and elements of water in baths, sinks and showers.
To keep the minimal aesthetic, each bathroom features bespoke shaped mirrors, specifically tailored for each space and positioned to be functional and to help bounce natural light within the rooms. The curved lines of the rounded rectangular and circular mirror designs help to soften the angular cabinetry and windows to create a more organic look.
Comdain Homes has worked with Stegbar for more than 25 years due to their ability to create, not only stylish bespoke shower screens, mirrors and windows & doors, but also their ability to take a holistic approach to their placement to create the best property possible.
