Located in Frankston South, the Rufous project is a five-bedroom, two-bathroom residence designed for a green acressite. Built on a fresh block of land, the home is a study in functional innovation and architectural simplicity. The exterior profile is defined by Colorbond Monument roofing and Austral Bricks in a Steel finish, creating a grounded, permanent presence within its landscape.
The interior transitions from open communal spaces to quiet retreats through a deliberate shift in textures. Highlands Oak vinyl flooring provides a durable, grain-led foundation for the high-traffic entry, kitchen, and family areas. In contrast, a sense of arrival in the bedrooms and rumpus room is marked by Dark Shadow carpet, chosen for its deep pigment and soft underfoot quality.

In the kitchen, the 40mm Caesarstone Calacatta Nuvo benchtop features an Aris mitred apron, providing a substantial, matte focal point. This stone is paired with Laminex Absolute Matte cabinetry and Porta Timber Contours in Tasmanian Oak ‘Pinnacle’. The result is a kitchen defined by clean lines and the absence of reflective surfaces.

The wet areas maintain a disciplined, premium minimalist aesthetic. Belga Grey porcelain tiles are utilized across the floor and walls in a horizontal stackbond arrangement, emphasizing the room’s proportions.

The primary ensuite and family bathroom feature matte black Phoenix tapware and Fienza Aluca Pill basins, offering a sharp contrast to the organic veining of the Calacatta Nuvo stone. Every element, from the fully frameless shower screens to the Venetian Plaster finish on the family room fireplace, has been executed with considered professionalism and structural clarity.
