We’re excited to share that our design for Merealba House - A Landmark Home is all set and waiting for its new family!

Our goal was to create a home that matched the dynamic style of the project home market but with a unique twist. I incorporated exterior features that elevate it to the another level of a custom-built design .


Designed for a developer with a tight budget in a subdivision aimed at first and second-home buyers in the Newcastle municipality’s mid-north coast area.


The site is sloping in a bushfire-prone area designated as BAL 29, with the added issues related to mine subsidence.


The experience of bringing this one to life did have its fair share of challenges which were well worth the effort given the outcome.


This project was my fifth with this developer / family which has become a partnership of trust and creativity to try and achieve a outstanding result each time.


The Selling Agent had this to say about the property:-



"A landmark home blending visionary design and construction excellence.


A masterclass in craftsmanship and creativity, this is a landmark home; bringing a level of finish and unwavering quality that has to be seen in person to be understood.

Architecturally designed by award-winning Luke Van Jour, this luxury-leading project shows what is possible when you blend visionary design with construction excellence. A beautiful and strong form that is impressive from every single angle, step inside and it feels high, light and open, with framed green views and cooling lake breezes.


A carefully curated palette of stone, timber and metal evokes a sense of timelessness and nature, while the premium fixtures and bespoke detailing elevate every room. The expansive living areas, multi-generational considerations, thoughtfully integrated amenities and seamless indoor-outdoor connectivity ensure serene sophistication and calm luxury at every turn.


Located within the prestigious Billy's Lookout estate in Lake Macquarie, a tightly held enclave between the bush and the water, you are just minutes from the views and eateries of Warners Bay and keen yachties will relish the opportunity to berth at Marmong Point, one of the east coasts most protected and premium marinas".
