A well-planned deck
Turning your traditional patio or verandah into an exciting entertainment space is the perfect way to extend your indoor living space into the outdoors. You’ll want to ensure any materials you use are hard-wearing to stand up against repeated use and the elements (from heavy rain to harsh sunshine), and the renovation itself shouldn’t break the bank. Choosing a product like HardieDeck™ means you get all the elegance of a sleek and sturdy deck without the drawbacks of traditional timber. Made from James Hardie’s™ premium fibre cement, the HardieDeck is a stylish addition to any outdoor space. It works just as well for your exterior dining area as it does around the edges of your pool. Outdoor kitchen for entertaining There’s nothing quite like firing up the barbie and inviting friends and family over for a meal out in the sunshine. A kitchen outside is a great way to use your outdoor space, but you need to ensure the materials around it will be able to withstand the hot summer days and rainy weather, and won’t get stained from spills and dropped food. Linea Weatherboard is the ideal choice for an outdoor kitchen – not only is it modern, durable and easy to install, but it’s resistant to shrinking, swelling and cracking. One last thing to remember for any outdoor kitchen: if you plan to install a barbecue on your deck, make sure the flooring is heat resistant and strong enough to support the extra weight of large appliances.

The Bonny House: Heritage Terrace Homes and Fire Safety Compliance

<p><strong>Respecting the original heritage characteristics of the home, see how designer and BuildHer Collective alum Ivy Huang created a seamless transition between old and new.</strong> </p>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iymmfvJ2pnA" class="embedly-card" data-card-width="100%" data-card-controls="0">Embedded content: https://www.youtube.com/embed/iymmfvJ2pnA</a></p>
<p>Originally built in 1900 and in desperate need of an upgrade, The Bonny House is a single-fronted, Victorian cottage located in Melbourne’s tightly controlled heritage precinct of Albert Park.</p>
<p>Designer and <a href="https://www.jameshardie.com.au/partnerships/buildher-collective">BuildHer Collective</a> alum Ivy Huang’s vision for the renovation was to create a beautiful yet comfortable three bedroom home that is built with sustainability in mind while <a href="https://hardiehomeguide.jameshardie.com.au/inspiration/get-inspired/heritage-meets-modern">respecting the original heritage characteristics</a>.</p>
<p>The Bonny House’s heritage characteristics were also a factor in the transition to a safe, compliant home. Ensuring the home met present day fire resistance levels and acoustic codes required careful consideration as the traditional terrace house had no external access to either side of the property. </p>
<p><img src="//images.ctfassets.net/rg5y8r6t6cjr/28aTJr1TP1YLIvJLdtwaPs/20e49ebd2dedcf0290de194004c22ab7/nojhproduct-exterior-bonnyhouse-ivy-buildhercollective-jameshardie-7.webp" alt="nojhproduct-exterior-bonnyhouse-ivy-buildhercollective-jameshardie-7" /></p>
<p><img src="//images.ctfassets.net/rg5y8r6t6cjr/4CnO14Wxxp5oy7gdwsIQiY/871b3e4650bdff032a23011a4293ef58/hardie-finetexture-axon-exterior-bonnyhouse-ivy-buildhercollective-jameshardie-3.webp" alt="hardie-finetexture-axon-exterior-bonnyhouse-ivy-buildhercollective-jameshardie-3" /></p>
<p>“These types of row terraces are built right up to the boundary, so not only do the boundary walls need to perform at a certain fire resistance level (FRL), we needed a wall system that could be built without any access from the external side. The <a href="https://www.jameshardie.com.au/productrange/hardiesmart-fire-&-acoustic-wall-systems-zerolot-wall-system">Hardie™ Smart Dual ZeroLot™ Wall System</a> was perfect for that,” she explains.</p>
<p>When a building has one external wall built against the property line, the house is said to have a virtually “zero lot” line, which is common in terrace style homes such as The Bonny House. The <a href="https://www.jameshardie.com.au/productrange/hardiesmart-fire-&-acoustic-wall-systems-zerolot-wall-system">Hardie™ Smart Dual ZeroLot™ Wall System</a> is comprised of two fire and acoustic rated Hardie™ Smart Dual ZeroLot™ boundary walls built back-to-back with at least one built modularly. The external wall face is fitted with a specialised pre-sealed cladding known as Hardie™ ZeroLot™ Panel designed for areas with restricted access for maintenance.</p>
<p>Choosing the right boundary <a href="https://www.jameshardie.com.au/categories/performance-wall-systems">wall system</a> was especially important as its selection was required to obtain a building permit. Ivy recalls, “It was a very early decision point for us and luckily the product team from James Hardie had all the necessary information ready to go which made getting council approval was a breeze!”</p>
<p>As well as being a necessity for a building permit, implementing the <a href="https://www.jameshardie.com.au/productrange/hardiesmart-fire-&-acoustic-wall-systems-zerolot-wall-system">Hardie™ Smart Dual ZeroLot™ Wall System </a> created more usable space. The compact solution maximised indoor space which was perfect for the 140m2 site.</p>
<p>Further maximising indoor space and delivering a seamless transition between old and new, Ivy used a mixture of fibre cement <a href="https://www.jameshardie.com.au/categories/cladding">exterior cladding</a> products from James Hardie. The rear façade features <a href="https://www.jameshardie.com.au/productrange/categories/cladding/hardie-fine-texture-cladding">Hardie™ Fine Texture Cladding</a> on the upper level, with a subtle shift to <a href="https://www.jameshardie.com.au/productrange/categories/cladding/scyon-axon-cladding">Axon™ Cladding</a> by James Hardie on the ground floor. </p>
<blockquote>
  <p>“I loved combining these claddings for a contemporary and sophisticated look, while my builders loved the ease of installation,” said Ivy.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Ivy’s renovation is a charming and refined build that above all else, is safe and comfortable to live in. Ivy successfully brought The Bonny House into the 21st Century, and design-wise harnessed the calmness of Japandi design (a fusion of Scandinavian functionality and Japanese rustic minimalism) to create the perfect blend of function and form with clean lines, light-filled spaces and neutral colours. </p>

Neale Whitaker brings drama and luxury to the country with a black façade 

<p>Choosing black for the exterior colour of your home can make for a striking exterior feature.  While it might seem a dramatic design decision, there is no doubt black brings a sense of drama and luxury, it pops against foliage with its contrast in tones and will make your house stand out.</p>
<blockquote>
  <p>“We knew black was the colour for our barn-style guest house from the beginning.  Black buildings tend to disappear into the greater landscape, yet with our own farmhouse being white, we loved the idea of a contrast.  The black is quite sensorial and depending on the day it throws incredible light and shadows that creates interest.” - Neale Whitaker</p>
</blockquote>
<p><img src="//images.ctfassets.net/rg5y8r6t6cjr/6Md6RYaUbk6XWDfoVqUlLM/5d119075f274c2d2ffae368119d0c475/stria-cladding-taylorsofberry-nealewhittaker-jameshardie-9.webp" alt="stria-cladding-taylorsofberry-nealewhittaker-jameshardie-9" /></p>
<p>Like white and grey, black is a neutral colour.  It contrasts well with other materials, hues, and textures plus you don’t need to do much to dress it up.  It is a colour that works well with most architectural styles and landscapes, yet if you are considering a modern renovation or build, black painted façades will make the lines of your home the hero.  The angles become crisper; the architectural details more visible.</p>
<p><img src="//images.ctfassets.net/rg5y8r6t6cjr/3gchLgcplCGkH7tl29BjCa/0a1e43d61eb093002e1a689d0ab41b7e/stria-cladding-taylorsofberry-nealewhittaker-jameshardie-17__1_.webp" alt="stria-cladding-taylorsofberry-nealewhittaker-jameshardie-17 (1)" /></p>
<p>Television personality and style afficionado, Neale Whitaker’s recent guest house build on the south-coast of New South Wales, perfectly showcases how stunning a black façade can be. “We knew black was the colour for our barn-style guest house from the beginning.  Black buildings tend to disappear into the greater landscape, yet with our own farmhouse being white, we loved the idea of a contrast.  The black is quite sensorial and depending on the day it throws incredible light and shadows that creates interest.”</p>

<p>Neale chose <a href="https://www.jameshardie.com.au/productrange/categories/cladding/scyon-stria-cladding">Stria™ Cladding</a> by James Hardie for the exterior of the guest house.  Being a <a href="https://www.jameshardie.com.au/fibre-cement">fibre cement</a> product, Stria™ Cladding is durable and adheres to Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) requirements up to BAL40, which is essential with the property being surrounded by bushland.  Neale was looking to achieve a specific aesthetic in the choice of cladding, the shiplap panels of Stria™ provide the horizontal lines expected of a barn-style build. Stria™ Cladding panels come primed, and are able to withstand harsh weather conditions and are resistant to warping even when painted in dark colours.</p>

<p>“Considering the colour palette surrounding a black façade is a key step in achieving the right look for your home,” says Neale.  “Knowing that black can be a harsh colour on its own, we introduced a mix of warmer browns and greens to the palette through the use of brick, timber and foliage, to soften the look.”</p>
<p>Incorporated into the exterior landscape design of the guest house is a mix of raw materials including herringbone laid worn brick pavers in a warm brown tone, olive trees in planters that contrast well against the Stria™ Cladding painted in Wattyl’s black shade of Colorbond® steel Nightsky®.</p>
<p><img src="//images.ctfassets.net/rg5y8r6t6cjr/42h5yphZevoDysT0RFPmxE/5ec8b767d58ae818789b550717006e2b/stria-cladding-taylorsofberry-nealewhittaker-jameshardie-15__1_.webp" alt="stria-cladding-taylorsofberry-nealewhittaker-jameshardie-15 (1)" /></p>

<p>Black is a bold choice, however, no matter what style of home you’re looking to renovate or build, it goes without saying that painting it a shade of black will accentuate its best features and make it stand out from the crowd.</p>
