Timber joinery project - Connewarre

We where very fortunate to recently be invited into our clients newly completed home to see how everything had come together. This stunning home is designed by the very talented team at Auhaus Architecture and is amazing in every way! From the grand yet secluded enterance to the courtyard pool and the green lightwell, everything is designed with great thought and style. All of the finishes are on trend, ultra high end with a great attention to detail. It was so lovely to see our timber joinery pieces in this beautiful space!

Our client designed the interior of their home with a palette of polished concrete, white, black, brass and of course timber. These materials work so well together and as these elements where repeated throughout the entire home, there was a beautiful sense of flow. The client chose to use a medium feature recycled Messmate for their timber joinery pieces. This ensured that the black sapline features tied in with the black elements in the rooms whilst not over powering the design.

Custom floating TV cabinet

A large space calls for a large piece of furniture to create balance. This beautiful open plan living room and kitchen has lots of space to fill! We created a bespoke timber floating TV unit to the clients design with spaces to both store items and display treasures. The push to open cupboards create a modern streamlined look with plenty of space to hide away items.

Timber walk in robe

To continue the wood theme into the master suite, all of the joinery was created from solid timber. This includes the epic walk in robe, wardrobes and a lowboy. In so many bedroom designs, the cabinetry is hidden away from sight as it adds nothing to the design. In this space however, the robe is the hero! The client also wanted some design features to showcase treasured items and plants.

Inbuilt timber desk

A solid timber desk makes sitting down to get some work done, clean up some life admin or get stuck into the homework that little bit more enjoyable! I am lucky to have a beautful timber desk to work on in the office and I quite often find myself mindlessly stairing at an interesting piece of character in the timber or running my hand over the smooth finish. It is these small joys that make a big difference in life!

Timber vanities

This beautiful home has a total of 5 bathrooms with 5 stunning timber vanities! The warm tone of the recycled Messmate timber creates a beautiful sense of balance with the concrete, dark grey tiles, white walls and glass in the bathroom decor. Each floating vanity was designed and made to order so that it was perfect for the design and space of each bathroom.

Custom timber dining table

The perfect finishing touch to this home is a large 10 seater dining table created from recycled Messmate timber. The angled box legs on the Jan Juc table design creates an ultra modern look with that ultimate sense of timelessness that will ensure it will always be in style. The Messmate timber of this dining table is a beautiful mid tone brown with black features such as sap lines and pockets.

Ordering your new timber vanity

Thank you for choosing Bombora to create a bespoke timber vanity / vanities for your home! We look forward to collaberating with you to create your prefect pieces. In this blog post, we answer some of our clients most commonly asked questions after they have chosen to work with us!

The order form

The online order form, sent through to you on emial, confirms that the information on your invoice is correct and also collects vital details from you about your timber and waste hole locations. We need all of this information before we put together your design drawings. We need the drawings approved by you at least 5 weeks prior to your estimated completion date to ensure that we have all of the componants ordered and ready to go.

There is some details that you will need to have confirmed prior to filling out this form.

• The exact dimensions of your vanity. This includes the height, depth and width. We understand that these sometimes change slightly through the building process. We can have estimates of dimensions to start the design drawings however we will need the confirmed dimensions at least 5 weeks prior to starting production.

• The colour and thickness of your stone if you have chosen this option for the bench top.

• Your choice of basin and tapware if the tap is going through the bench top

• The position that the basin and tap will sit on your vanity top. Please see the image below for an example of what we require
  

What is a waste hole location drawing?

In the waste hole location drawing, we find out from you the exact location of the waste hole/ holes and also the diameter of these holes. You can find the information on the required waste hole diameter in the specification documentation that comes with your basin and tap. Below is an example of a drawing.

What to tell your plumber

As all of our vanities are made to order to your specifications, there is no standard setout that is required for the plumbing. Your plumber will be able to use the waste location drawing to determine where to rough in the pipes in conjunction with information from you on the location of your vanity on the wall.

We allow a 100mm clearance around the waste hole location to fit the pipes. This clearance is either a u shaped drawer or a cavity. In the case of a cavity, the dividing section of timber is designed to be removed to make installation of the pipes easier.

What to tell your tiler

Ideally, your tiling would be completed after your vanity has been installed. This allows the tiler to bring the tiles to the top and sides of the vanity then silicone the join. Occasionally because of timing, this is not possible. In this circumstance, a template at the dimensions of the vanity can be attached to the wall as in the image below. We suggest leaving the wall surface where the vanity is to be attached free of tiling. This is because it makes it very challanging for your builder to find the studs once there are tiles on the plaster and drilling through the tiles can crack them.

In the case of three walls

If your vanity is to be attached to three walls, we recommend that you provide us with a template of the bench top as walls are not always straight!

Delays in building schedule

We have been a part of enough builds and renovations to know that delays happen. If you are running behind schedule, we can move the production of your pieces back to when you will be ready to recieve the delivery.

Estimated completion date

Please note that the date you where supplied as your completion date is an estimate only. As we create everything by hand, there can occasionally be unexpected delays. The estimated completion date for production not the delivery. As deliveries are completed by external companies, we are only able to advise you of their delivery date once the booking has been made. We have several different companies that we work with for the deliveries and send the item with the company that will get it to you first.

If you have any queries, you can contact Alison on 0407 906 799 or Luke on 0437 748 828.
