Hendra Hamptons: Nailing the Look with Natural Stone
What makes a classic Brisbane home truly special? It’s all about getting the materials right. This stunning Hamptons-style home in Hendra is a perfect example. It absolutely nails the blend of timeless design with relaxed Queensland living, and the smart choice of natural stone is a huge reason why.
We supplied the stone for this project, working with the builder to choose a mix that was tough and textured for the outdoors, and smooth and calming for the inside. The result is a home that feels both classic and perfectly suited to its Brisbane setting.
Outside: Rugged Texture with Aspen Ashlar Stone Cladding
The pool is the heart of any great Queensland home, and the walls surrounding it set the whole mood. For this place, Aspen Ashlar Stone Cladding was the perfect choice.
This stone gives the space a beautiful, rugged texture that looks fantastic against the clean white lines of the house. The earthy colours of the Aspen Ashlar catch the sun during the day and look incredible with the garden lighting at night.
It’s a smart choice that adds a natural, grounded feel to the whole outdoor area, making it feel like a five-star resort right in the backyard.
Inside: A Bathroom Retreat
Step inside, and the vibe changes to one of pure calm. The bathrooms are designed to be relaxing retreats, so we supplied Davenport Limestone for the floors and walls.
This stone has a beautiful, soft grey-beige colour that instantly makes a room feel like a day spa. It’s subtle, classy, and feels soft underfoot.
By using the same stone on both the floors and walls, the builder created a seamless look that feels seriously luxurious without being loud or over the top. It’s the kind of quiet quality that makes all the difference.
The Right Stone, Inside and Out
It’s this clever mix of stone that really makes the Hendra home work so well. You have the tough, textured stone cladding for the outdoor living areas and the smooth, calming limestone for the private spaces inside. It all flows together to create a home that not only looks incredible but feels just right for the Brisbane lifestyle.
