A House Bill Built, A home Dianne Made

Phegans Bay · 3 Bedrooms · 2 Baths · House · Fireplace
There is a particular kind of house that only gets built once in a lifetime, and it is never quite the same as one bought off a plan. Twenty-six years ago, Bill, a builder by trade, set out to build exactly that kind of house for his family. Not a project to flip, not a spec home for the market, but the place he and Dianne intended to live in for good. You can feel the difference the moment you walk in. Bill sourced Tamala limestone from Western Australia for the build, paired it with Western red cedar, and centered the home around a double sided fireplace, also freighted in from the west, built for the kind of cosy winter evenings that make a house feel lived in rather than merely furnished. Hardwood timber runs underfoot throughout, and exposed timber beams overhead tell you, without needing to be told, that this home was made by someone who understood materials and cared how they aged. The block is flat and faces due north, so the light moves through the home generously all day long
