Texture Meets Tranquillity In Montmerency
Tucked away in the leafy Melbourne suburb of Montmorency, Monty SunCatcher is a considered alterations and additions project that reimagines family living with warmth, light and connection at its core. Designed by Drawing Room Architecture and built by Cassilis Constructions, the project sensitively transforms an existing structure into a luminous, contemporary retreat that honours its suburban context.
True to its name, Monty SunCatcher embraces the sun with a thoughtful interplay of glazing, volume and orientation, creating bright, inviting spaces that feel both open and grounded. Natural materials take centre stage, with a strong emphasis on tactility and enduring quality. Throughout the home, Havwoods' EP112 Spotted Gum timber flooring from the Australian Collection, adds to this narrative. Rich in variation and character, the native hardwood brings a distinctly Australian warmth to the interiors, pairing beautifully with the home's timber detailing and natural colour palette.
This carefully tailored renovation captures the essence of relaxed family living - light-filled, robust, and quietly elegant. The choice of Havwoods Spotted Gum wood flooring anchors the home in its natural surroundings, reflecting the rich tones and textures of the Australian bushland beyond. With its distinctive grain and earthy depth, the timber brings a grounded, authentic warmth to every room, echoing the environment while offering durability and comfort for everyday family life.
