Rendered Aerated Concrete Panelling

Beautiful and practical, the aerated concrete panelling used externally throughout the ground floor of our homes combines both function and form whist delivering supreme thermal and acoustic benefits. The modern aesthetic is enhanced as we apply three alternative render colours to your home as standard. This creates depth, interest and stand out for the right reasons.

One of the most appealing features a home can have is stone benchtops. From the tactile feel to where and how it is placed stone benchtops are the finishing touch to your kitchen and bathrooms that will leave a lasting impression.

Thermally Broken Aluminium Windows

All Thomas Archer homes are designed to allow an abundance of light to stream into the home, creating a sense of connectivity to the outdoors. The use of thermally broken aluminium windows is crucial in reducing heat loss to ensure your home stays cooler in summer and warmer in winter. The net result, a light filled home with reduced energy costs throughout the year.

Designing Smart – Making the Most of a Small Block

While smaller blocks can sometimes present unique challenges, they also open the door to more creative, considered design, providing unique opportunities to tailor your design. At Thomas Archer, our Landmark Custom Design Process is built to meet these exact challenges head on, combining architectural thinking with a deep understanding of how you want to live, so that even the most compact sites can feel spacious, open and full of light. From clever use of space to seamless indoor-outdoor flow, here’s how our in house architect team can help you create a home that feels anything but small. A Considered Floorplan A great design starts with a thoughtful layout. Our architects work with you to develop a floorplan that maximises every square metre, minimising wasted space and creating purposeful zones for living, entertaining and retreat. Open plan living areas are positioned to feel expansive, while privacy and practicality are always front of mind. Abundance of Natural Light Natural light is one of the most effective ways to make a home feel larger and more inviting. Whether it’s orienting the home to capture morning sun, incorporating skylights, or introducing clerestory windows, we look at every opportunity to bring in light without compromising privacy. Biophilic Living Connection to the outdoors plays a huge role in making a small footprint feel more expansive. Through wide openings, thoughtful landscaping and consistent flooring materials that blur the line between inside and out, we design with flow in mind creating a sense of space that extends beyond the walls. Bespoke Joinery Designed to Elevate & Organise Storage should feel seamless, not bulky. Our Interior Designers work closely with you to incorporate custom joinery solutions, whether it’s sleek built-in cabinetry, integrated bookshelves, or full-height storage. Each detail is thoughtfully considered to bring clarity, functionality, and refined style to your home. If you’re considering building on a compact site, our team is here to help you explore smart, tailored solutions to suit your needs.

Bringing Your Home to Life: The Essential Role of Considered Furniture and Styling

The finishing touches of a home are more than just aesthetic; they’re what bring the architectural vision to life. Furniture, artwork and styling choices tie everything together, ensuring each space reflects both the design intent and the way you live in it every day. A rush to complete the home can lead to spaces that feel impersonal or disconnected from the architecture that inspired them. Instead, take your time with a considered approach to styling. Don’t be in a rush to fill every room with furniture or accessories just for the sake of completing the space. A home filled with special pieces that contribute to the design vision and reflect your personality will create a home that truly feels distinctly yours. Archer Interiors Stylist, Aimee Tarulli recently had the opportunity to sit down with Zuster Furniture’s Design Director, Wilhelmina McCaroll, and Managing Director, Fleur Sibbel, to discuss the importance of interior styling in a new home build. Zuster, a Melbourne-based furniture design and manufacturer, is renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship and bespoke detailing. Each piece of furniture is carefully crafted locally at their Thomastown HQ by skilled artisans, making every piece truly special. Their timeless creations add beauty and refinement to a home, ensuring that the craftsmanship adds a luxurious, artistic feel to the space. This commitment to thoughtful design is evident in the way Zuster's pieces serve as both functional and artistic elements within a home. Interior finishes serve as the canvas and the furniture is the art which brings the space to life. When styling a home, resist the temptation to rush or overcrowd a room. Instead, focus on achieving balance, ensuring that the architecture, finishes and furniture complement each other without one element overpowering the others. Embrace colour thoughtfully; opting for softer tones like dusty pinks, muted blues or earth tones that subtly enhance the space without overwhelming it. Texture is equally important, adding warmth and interest through carefully selected materials, rather than relying on bold colour contrasts. Drawing inspiration from platforms such as Pinterest and Instagram and using mood boards or flat lays to gather ideas, can help solidify your vision and ensure a cohesive, personal design. Styling your home is a journey that benefits from thoughtful consideration and intentional choices. By selecting pieces that resonate with your design vision and personal taste, you create a space that is both cohesive and uniquely yours. Watch our full video interview to discover more.

The Beauty of Engineered Timber Flooring

Archer Interiors stylist Aimee Tarulli and Thomas Archer Interior Designer Natasha Allan explore the enduring appeal and evolving trends of engineered timber flooring. Combining warmth, texture and exceptional durability, engineered timber is a timeless addition to any home, seamlessly elevating both its design and functionality. Colour Palette Timber flooring offers a spectrum of colours to complement any design. For 2025, Natasha suggests embracing a warmer palette, with richer, moodier hues bringing depth and sophistication to interiors. Moving away from pale blonde tones, options like warm walnuts, smokey oaks and deep chocolates are the go-to choices, providing a refined foundation. These hues pair beautifully with metallic finishes such as brushed gold, deep bronze and aged brass accents, enhancing warmth and contrast. Statement Pattern Lays Beyond traditional straight planks, pattern lay timber flooring adds a dynamic, architectural quality to interiors. Herringbone and chevron patterns, long celebrated in European design, infuse movement and visual interest into a space. These layouts have enduring appeal, ensuring they remain a thoughtful, timeless choice. Particularly effective in open-plan areas, they draw the eye and add depth and texture. Elevating Staircase Design Staircases are evolving beyond their functional purpose into design statements that complement timber flooring. With an emphasis on detail, such as refined stair treads and nosing, seamless transitions between floors and stairs create a cohesive aesthetic. Thoughtfully chosen timber tones and subtle accents, like a coloured nosing strip, further enhance this connection, adding visual interest while maintaining continuity throughout the home Durability Engineered timber flooring offers the perfect balance of beauty and durability. Not only does it withstand the demands of modern living and busy families, but with minimal care, it ensures long-lasting performance without compromising the authenticity of natural timber. Regular sweeping, wood-safe cleaners, and protective measures preserve its beauty for years, making engineered timber a wise investment in both design and durability.
