Architects Refresh Design with interior designers Flokk Interiors applied this idea to form an elevated camping experience. The result is a deliberately simple house clad in charred timber and charred timber and COLORBOND® steel roofing in the colour Wallaby® using a Lysaght TRIMDEK® profilethat inspires a feeling of escape from everyday life. It’s a home purely for spending time in nature with friends and family – just like the island’s campsites and beach shacks of old.

The Fremantle home of Poppy Lissiman and Harrison Kennedy feels like a beautiful boutique hotel, combining influences of retail, hospitality and residential design into the one unique space.

Whilst renovating can often be stressful, Poppy describes the process as ‘pure heaven’, resulting in one seriously gorgeous home.
