MODERN MAGIC

WHEN EMBARKING ON THIS NEW BUILD IN TASMANIA, A FAMILY CREATED A HOME TO SUIT THEIR EVERY NEED

- STEPHANIE HOPE

Like many families who lived through the Covid lockdowns, Jess and Ed discovered a whole new appreciation for home life. With the arrival of their daughter Hazel, now three, they wanted to create a home that felt like a refuge, with some key musts on the wish list: open-plan living, generous spaces to entertain, access to gardens front and rear, a home office and a couple of little luxuries like a home gym, sauna and swimming pool. A large block in a leafy suburb of Launceston, Tasmania, presented the perfect place to build.
