LUX in BLACK

Once upon a time, tapware options were limited pretty limited. The percentages of chrome tapware found in most residential homes was probably up in the nineties – functional, yes, but far from exciting. Today, however, tapware has evolved into a design statement of its own, with an array of finishes that offer endless possibilities for personalising spaces. Among these choices, black tapware has emerged as a favourite for those seeking a contemporary edge and that is exactly what was chosen for this luxurious home in Broadbeach Waters on the Gold Coast.

ARCH is a stunning example of modern architecture brought to life by luxury custom builders Unique Built. With a light and breezey coastal aesthetic, ARCH is a stand-out on the street with a striking 8 metre micro cement arched entryway, complemented on one side by a wall of breezeblocks and on the other with timber cladding which adds warmth to the contemporary facade. Such bold architectural concepts required precision and engineering excellence to support the 12 tonnes of weight sitting on top of the two walls. Functional as well as stylish, both the breezeblocks and the cladding add a level of privacy to the front exterior while ensuring sufficient light enters the home.

Every space within ARCH has been thoughtfully created, with the designers choosing a cohesive palette of matte black fixtures including matte black tapware from ABI Interiors for the bathrooms and kitchen creating an inviting, yet clean and sophisticated minimalist interior.

Floor to ceiling windows filter in sun, enhancing the sense of openness and creating a strong connection to the outdoors, bringing the outside in. As well as adding a level of privacy, the architectural breezeblocks serve as perfect conduits for the coastal breezes to flow through the home.

ABI Interiors has played a pivotal role of ARCH, providing a range of high-quality products that enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of the home. One of the standout features is the kitchen, where ABI Interiors has supplied the sleek Elysian Kitchen Mixer. This stylish fixture is renowned for the precise temperature and pressure control and comes in a range of superior finishes but matte black was a clear choice for the designers who felt it popped against the beige interiors, and beautifully complemented the black arched window frame. The combination of ABI Interiors’ products and other premium kitchen appliances creates a space that is both beautiful and highly functional.

The primary bedroom boasts 180-degree views of the canals and skyline, with the iconic Jewel buildings casting a warm glow throughout the day. A custom-built oversized king bed features micro cement, embodying organic, Wabi-Sabi-inspired minimalism.

The ensuite is fully micro-cemented with an integrated vanity. The focal point of this gorgeous luxury-spa-like bathroom however is the round freestanding bath and matte black tapware. The Ukiyo Acrylic round matte white bath adds a luxurious and unique feature with generous depth, creating an immersive spa-like experience. This is complemented by the Elysian Floor Mounted Basin/Bath Filler with Mixer positioned against a curved wall, that conceals a walk-through open shower.

The sleek design of the matte black fixtures from ABI Interiors added a touch of sophistication, with the Cross Taps adding that little extra bit of interest, as well as being a water saving product that ensures ease of operation through precise temperature and pressure control.

Incorporating over 665sqm of luxury living ARCH is set to become a landmark residence in Broadbeach Waters. This home exudes calmness and serenity thanks to the inspired selection of materials and finishes and quality tapware and bathroom fixtures from ABI Interiors. The result is a home where every detail speaks to modern sophistication, proof that even the smallest elements can transform a space.
