When it comes to home renovations, it’s not just about the visual appeal but also about functionality, durability, and most importantly, the lifestyle it supports. Situated on the south coast, The Avenue is a prime example of how a full home renovation can be seamlessly blended with design and practicality.

Taking inspiration from its coastal surroundings, The Avenue by Concepts by Gavin Hepper showcases soft, timeless curves complemented by a neutral colour palette punctuated with warm timber highlights. These design elements provide a sense of calm and relaxation, which perfectly aligns with the property’s location.

Through extensive floorplan reconfigurations, this once-conventional home has been transformed into a beautiful open-plan abode that exudes modernity and light. This makes it ideal for embracing and maximising the laid-back south coast lifestyle.

With over 27 years of industry experience spanning both design and trade platforms, Gavin Hepper, the Creative Director at Concepts by Gavin Hepper, always centres his designs around functionality.

Corian® was the material of choice thanks to its unmatched versatility, flexibility, and unique ability to curve and thermoform. This allowed for the creation of the kitchen’s centrepiece – a breathtakingly curved island that effortlessly blends the line between art and functionality.

In the kitchen, Corian® Cameo White was selected, not just for its beauty but also to emphasise the innovation in design and the island’s curved profile.

For the downstairs home bar and entertaining area, Corian® Dune Prima was the preferred choice to instil a more modern wine bar ambiance.

Corian® was also the chosen material for the bathroom vanities and the laundry benchtops. Its stain-resistant properties coupled with seamless joins ensure a hygienic environment free from germs, viruses, and mould – a vital consideration for any family-oriented space.

Gavin Hepper shares, “Being non-toxic and having Zero Silica ensures that it’s not only safe for our clients in their homes but also for our team during fabrication. This commitment to safety and health is a primary reason we consistently specify Corian® Solid Surface.”

The Avenue is more than just a home renovation project. It’s a testament to the power of thoughtful design, the right choice of materials, and the vision of a seasoned professional like Gavin Hepper. It emphasises that with the right blend of form and function, a home can truly be a sanctuary that reflects both its surroundings and the personalities of those who dwell within.
