Our site visit to Zimbali House last week went off well, there is alot of work still to be done however this home is starting to take shape. The extensive truss system for the roof will remain exposed and visible from the first floor. The Timber trusses will be stained and sealed and will reflect the floating timber floor.
Platerboard bulkheads will conceal the framework of the roof structure at the windows and we are planning on using recessed curtain pelmets designed into the bulkheads so that a soft voile or curtain can be used at the vast extent of windows without any visible fixings being used.
The views from the first floor of the house are stunning, the house is designed to have glass folding doors right around the living area of the house located on the first floor. This makes great use of the views and as the doors can fold away the verandah can become part of the house when entertaining.
Futher photos of this exciting project will be posted again in the next few months. Look out for our recent mention in the Berea 'Get It' magazine, there are some useful tips on decorating do's and dont's.
