A Family Home with a Personal Touch

Nestled near Cambridge, this home is a deeply personal project for Mike and Emma, the homeowners. As the owner of MDB Homes, Mike brought his expertise in construction to life, while Emma crafted the design vision - resulting in a space that is both beautifully considered and expertly built. Featuring JSC’s Western Red Cedar panelling, the interiors exude warmth and character, perfectly complementing the breathtaking land views. The timber is used throughout the home - from the kitchen and living areas to the bathrooms, creating a cohesive, warm aesthetic that enhances the home’s architectural flow.

A standout feature is the hidden door, seamlessly integrated into the timber panelling, leading to a discreet scullery/butler’s pantry, blending practicality with design.

Western Red Cedar cladding works alongside the light, brick exterior and carries the warmth of the interior timber outside to the façade. Underfoot, Garapa decking wraps around the pool area, grounding the outdoor living space for the kind of summers this home was made for. This is a home that wears its materials honestly with timber species chosen not just for how they look, but for the life the home was built around.
