Tassie Living: Matt and Brogan Kate’s North TAS Masterpiece

This contemporary Northern Tasmanian home proves that thoughtful material choices can elevate both style and performance — especially in a climate known for its wild mood swings. From the moment you arrive, the design is anchored by clean lines, warm textures, and a cohesive use of aluminium battens across the fence, screening, and soffits.

The perimeter fence sets the tone for the home: stylish and durable.
The aluminium DecoBatten® Quick Click 2-piece system is used to deliver privacy, street appeal, and a modern architectural rhythm, to this dreamy family-home.

The same batten profile continues through the façade screening and soffit linings, in a DecoWood® timber-look finish, Smoked Ash, to repeat the line and length.
This unifies the look and feels intentional and beautifully resolved.

Beyond aesthetics, these elements work hard. The screening softens the upper level, filters light, and adds a sense of movement to the façade, while the soffits provide a crisp, low‑maintenance finish that won’t warp, swell, or split — even in Tassie’s unpredictable weather.

The DecoWood® Super Durable™ timber-look powder coating, allows the home to bring the warmth and character of natural timber without the upkeep that coastal homes often demand. DecoWood® is 50% more durable than standard powder coating used in Australia, making it an ideal choice for the ever‑changing Tasmanian climate.

Designed for Modern Living

With its cohesive batten detailing, durable finishes, and contemporary coastal palette, this home is a standout example of how smart material selection can shape both the look and longevity of a build.
It’s modern, warm, and built to thrive in Tasmania’s unique environment — a perfect blend of form and function.
