Let me take you on a look in at a home in Lyneham, which Tom designed and built for his family.

The grandeur of this home is not in its footprint or bedroom size, but rather in the scale of the living and the exciting interplay of the kitchen and dining areas. It’s a home with plenty of soul, where the old original home remains to meet with its modern extension.

Tom’s 35 Degrees business specialises in sustainable design and his home is a living example of it. It also exemplifies his love of carpentry, which is how his career started before moving on to building.

Between the contrast of new and modern materials, the inviting appeal of the sunlit office and the breathing room of the living space – this home is a great example of Canberra design that draws influence from around the world.

Let’s meet Tom and take a look inside.
