Empire Building Company believes a home doesn’t have to be excessive to impress – it’s all about connection with the people who live inside it. Their latest offering – The Urban Retreat, is a wonderful family home, which boasts total resort style living.
The Urban Retreat design has been inspired by legendary Architect Frank Lloyd Wright, famous for his oversized eaves and designs incorporating organic architecture. As its name suggests, this family home fuses contemporary design with warm, welcoming features such as timber-look cladding and textured concrete. It certainly evokes the feeling of a spa-like retreat, all in the heart of urban Attadale. On entering the home this sets the scene for an international designer finish…stunning isn’t it?
The team at Empire work very closely with their clients, suppliers and trades to deliver homes that exceed their clients’ expectations and not their budgets. Owner, Andre Malecky is a second-generation builder who started his career helping in the family business at a young age. His passion for building and construction grew and lead him to establish the multi-award winning Empire it is today.
All of Empire’s homes achieve a six star energy rating with the use of double glazing, insular materials and solar passive design. Recently, Empire Building Company won several HIA Housing awards and are now in the running for a prestigious National Housing Award for The Urban Retreat which is being announced this month in Hamilton Island.
Perfect for families big on entertainment and lifestyle, the Urban Retreat offers seamless transitions from inside to out. Indoors, it’s sleek and modern and topped with luxurious finishes, appliances and custom cabinetry throughout. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is second to none. A credit to the builder and his team. And the alfresco is perfect for year-round use. It incorporates a 2 storey void under the main roof bringing light into the main living areas over both levels whilst keeping the weather out and boasts a natural gas outdoor fire which takes the edge off those cool evenings. The stylish outdoor kitchen includes appliances which just scream ‘relax…’
If you like what you see and you don’t want to build a new home The Empire Team also specialise in major home alterations including second storey extensions and complete face-lifts. So if your home is looking a little tired and outdated, their expert design team can recreate something you’ve always dreamed of.
The Urban Retreat is located at 8 Ince Road, Attadale and can be viewed on Saturdays and Sundays from 1-4pm, or by appointment. To book a private viewing, log on to empirebc.com.au
