Set in Bendigo, regional Victoria, this stunning custom-built home brings together beautiful finishes, generous proportions and practical design choices to create a space that feels both luxurious and welcoming.
Designed for a young family, every area of the home has been carefully considered to balance the demands of everyday living with the enjoyment of entertaining family and friends.
Throughout the home, 2340mm high doors create a greater sense of height and openness, adding to the home’s spacious feel. Triline’s Phoenix cavity sliding doors have been incorporated into several key areas, helping maximise usable space while providing the flexibility to open up or close off rooms as needed.
A kitchen designed for entertaining and everyday living
At the heart of this home is a beautifully considered kitchen and walk-through pantry, designed around the homeowners’ lifestyle.
For a busy young family, the kitchen needs to be more than just a beautiful space. It’s where meals are prepared, friends gather and the daily routines of family life unfold.
The walk-through pantry connects the kitchen to the mudroom and laundry, creating a practical flow between these hardworking areas of the home.
But not everything needs to be on display.
Phoenix cavity sliders allow the homeowners to close off the pantry from the mudroom and laundry, keeping the everyday clutter of school bags, shoes and washing out of sight. They also help create separation from laundry noise, allowing the kitchen to remain a welcoming space for cooking and entertaining.
It’s a simple design decision that makes a big difference to how the home functions.
Creating space and comfort in the guest suite
The same attention to detail continues into the guest bedroom, where Phoenix cavity sliders have been used for both the walk-in robe and ensuite.
By removing the need for traditional hinged door swing space, the room feels more open and spacious, allowing furniture and circulation areas to be planned without competing with opening doors.
The result is a guest suite that feels generous, comfortable and thoughtfully finished, with a subtle sense of luxury.
Bringing living and dining together
Between the main living area and formal dining room, a Phoenix Double (Bi-Parting) Cavity Slider provides the flexibility to connect or separate these two spaces.
When open, the double doors create a generous connection between rooms, perfect for family gatherings and entertaining. When closed, they provide a more intimate setting for formal dining.
From a builder’s perspective, the Phoenix Double offers another practical advantage. Its single continuous aluminium head track spans both cavity pockets, eliminating the need to align two separate head tracks during installation.
This helps simplify installation while providing a consistent track alignment for the two doors.
Thoughtful details that make a house a home
What makes this Bendigo home so appealing is the balance between architectural finishes and practical family living.
From the taller door panels that enhance the feeling of space, to the cleverly concealed laundry and flexible living areas, every design choice contributes to a home that’s both beautiful and functional.
The Phoenix range demonstrates how a well-considered internal sliding door system can do more than simply connect rooms. It can help create privacy, maximise usable floor space and allow a home to adapt to the changing needs of family life.
Because the best homes aren’t just designed to look beautiful. They’re designed to be lived in.
