As a family business renowned for producing award-winning designed and built homes inspired by our region’s gorgeous climate, lifestyle and heritage, Urban Trend has a decade-strong proven track record as the region’s leading boutique residential builder.
Urban Trend’s reputation for excellence and innovation has won them many awards, most recently bringing home three awards between two projects at this year’s Master Builders Mackay & Whitsunday Housing & Construction Awards.
Winning Individual Home from $1.25 million up to $2 million and Best Residential Swimming Pool Eimeo’s Mango residence is the collaboration of two great friends.
One; a professor of Architecture and two; a visionary who wanted to create a home that fulfilled his great friend’s belief in house-museum typology.
The construction of Mango residence is a dichotomy of rare materials such as exposed concrete blockwork and polished concrete flooring, contrasted against NZ wool carpets and linen window furnishings.
The home is reflective of inner-city municipality construction, balanced with spotted gum joinery and tropical planting visible from the home’s great expanses of glazing.
The views are unprecedented, with the 180-degree views of Sunset and Bucasia Beaches from the master suite a particular highlight.
Externally is a sparkling swimming pool with exceptional beachfront views and viewing deck designed to capture sunshine year-round.
A 15-month build period has resulted in the creation of a hybridity of home; private, domestic, intimate; and museum; public, civic, formal.
The construction of Sugarloaf residence, located in Balnagowan, is a balanced blend of bold exterior design elements and classic textures, winning Urban Trends the Individual Home from $550,000 up to $650,000 category.
A contrasting colour palette and warm recycled brickwork create a sophisticated and unique home that fits snug into the surrounding bushland.
This balance of materials is echoed internally with deep terrazzo tiled floors, recycled brickwork and a colour palate that reiterates the bushland location.
The home is rich in modern elements but provides a traditional nod to Australian architectural heritage with wrap-around verandas, hardwood posts, double gutter-line roof line and French doors opening onto the wrap-around verandas.
Floor to ceiling glazing brings the bushland vistas into the interior spaces and provide an abundance of natural light.
The open plan living, dining and kitchen overlook a richness of bushland, a vaulted alfresco area and sparkling magnesium mineral swimming pool.
