At Warrington Homes, we pride ourselves on delivering bespoke home construction services tailored to the unique needs of our clients. Recently, we had the pleasure of working on a project that truly exemplifies our commitment to quality and innovation: a single-story retirement home in Blackburn North. This project not only showcases our expertise in custom home construction but also highlights our dedication to creating spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Understanding Our Client's Vision
Our journey began with an in-depth consultation with our client, who was referred to us through a personal recommendation. They envisioned a cosy yet modern retirement home that would offer comfort, accessibility, and energy efficiency. The client's requirements included:
- A double car garage
- A wide front door entry for easy access
- Two bedrooms (one of which could double as a study)
- Two bathrooms, including an ensuite
- An outdoor deck and garden area for relaxation
- A coffee bar for entertaining guests
With these specifications in mind, we set out to follow their design and construct a home that would not only meet but exceed their expectations.
The Design Phase: Merging Functionality with Aesthetics
The design phase is always crucial as it sets the foundation for the entire project. The clients chose Austral bricks 'Nubrik Wave Rock' with a natural mortar for the exterior to ensure durability and a timeless look. The brickwork completes the overall aesthetic of a natural timber look.
The single-story brick house features a double car garage and wide front door entry.Inside, our clients aimed to create a light and warm ambiance. The wide front door entry opens into a hallway adorned with light-coloured walls and wooden flooring, contributing to the home's inviting atmosphere.

One of the standout features of this project is its focus on energy efficiency. We installed solar panels on the roof to harness renewable energy, significantly reducing the home's carbon footprint. This sustainable approach aligns with our commitment to eco-friendly construction practices but also the latest NCC regulations.
Construction: Bringing the Vision to Life
The construction phase spanned between ten to twelve months, during which we meticulously executed every detail of the design plan. The foundation was laid using a slab technique, ensuring stability and longevity.
Interior Spaces: Comfort Meets Style
The interior spaces were designed with both comfort and style in mind. The master bedroom boasts an ensuite bathroom equipped with modern fixtures and ample natural light.
The well-lit bedroom features a large window allowing natural light to enter.The second bedroom doubles as a study, offering flexibility for various uses. Both bathrooms feature contemporary designs with floating vanities, glass-enclosed showers, and elegant tile work.
The modern bathroom includes a floating vanity and glass-enclosed shower.Kitchen & Living Areas: Heart of the Home
The kitchen is often considered the heart of any home, and this project was no exception. We installed white cabinetry paired with stainless steel appliances for a sleek look. The large island counter provides additional workspace and storage.

This layout enhances the flow of natural light throughout the space, creating an airy and welcoming environment.

The outdoor areas were designed as tranquil retreats where our client could relax and enjoy their surroundings. The outdoor paving provides enough space for a table & seating while overlooking a beautifully landscaped garden complete with paved pathways and well-maintained garden beds (once more established).

One unique feature requested by our client was a coffee bar for entertaining guests. We integrated this into the living area cabinetry, creating an elegant yet functional space perfect for social gatherings.
