Deco 2D Doors

The carpenter has been around the last couple of weeks installing the architraves, skirting, ... and doors! Here's photos of the Deco 2D doors for anyone who is thinking of choosing them. They haven't been glossed over yet so hopefully they will 'pop' out more once painted. 





This is the linen doors. I was originally worried the horizontal lines wouldn't line up but it looks pretty alright to me here


Here' the entry doors to the master bedroom. Horizontal lines here are ever so slightly misaligned. 


The thin 720 x 2340 shared bathroom door

Sliding door to bedroom 2 ensuite. In hindsight, I'm not sure how worthwhile adding these doors to the ensuites were. Me thinks they will be hardly used and mostly left open now. Time will tell. 

Here's the sliding door to the master ensuite. The issue here is.. where's my architrave to the right? I'm going to suggest to my site supervisor to install the side architrave even if it has to cover most of the sliding door when fully open.  If I had known the architraves would be like this, I would have opted for a 920mm hinged door or kept the default with no door at all. 
Update: This can't be fixed. After the painting, it doesn't look so bad actually so I'm accepting it as is

The door to bedroom 2. Here, if you look closely, you will notice that the architraves is slightly slanted. There is a wider gap between the left wall and architrave on the top compared to at the bottom where it meets the skirting. Awaiting answer from the site supervisor to get this fixed.  Update: This is being fixed. The top of the door is also not aligning straight with the cornice above.  




So the question at Tender was, can the garage access door be also upgraded to 2340mm. The answer from this photo is yes. It is exactly 2400mm high from bottom of the door to the wooden beam. 




Update: Here's the doors after painting. Just as pictured on the Corinthian websites. Beautiful.

    I agree with you... thank God that the Linen doors line up!

Interior Paint - Wattyl Winter Mushroom

Painting is complete. We've gone for the grey finish to the walls. Here's how the Winter Mushroom looks. Originally we thought of doing white for the architraves and doors but got convinced by the colour consultant to use the same paint all round. Was a bit worried at first but it has come off nicely.

Austral Hawthorn Bricks

Here's some photos of our Hawthorn bricks. These were category 4 upgrade and costs ~$5k. The off white mortar was another $1k on top. We chose to have the rolled joints instead of a flush finish. I think the off white mortar together with the rolled joints make the bricks stand out better and have been well worth the money.

External Elevation Drawings

These are the elevation drawings on how our house will look like. Wish they did a 3D model but this will suffice. This is our version of the Chatsworth facade. Notice the archway has been straightened to be more contemporary looking. One of our windows needs to be obscured. We've selected SatinLite finish instead of Spotswood glazing. The top of the balcony should be brick too so I've asked them to update it as a Post Contract Variation (even though I've picked it up before contract signing).  There's our extra laundry window and extended alfresco at the back Alfresco spanning the width of the house. Extra roller door to the back of the garage so we can drive straight through.  There's the big 3.6m feature window.  The maximum height they could do was 1.5m which is why it looks so short. Slight fall to the block so our house is cut in a bit more than we like it but that's how it's going to be done. At least we've increased the he...
