One of the big decisions we faced when planning the Good Day House was how to create a driveway that blended seamlessly with our home’s design while being environmentally conscious.

Both Al and I love timber and we love to cook, so when it came to designing and building our kitchen we wanted to create a functional space and felt beautiful to be in. The kitchen has become the heart of our home, with our island bench the place we all gather around.
