Design Notes

The bold character of Spotted Gum provides a natural statement across this entire home. The consistent material application from front to back — combined with expert secret nailing and seamless transition work — enhances both flow and elegance. The Bona Traffic finish protects the timber while allowing its unique grain and tonal variation to shine.
