The Bonney Residence in Breadalbane, Northern Tasmania is one of Fairbrother Joinery's showcase residential projects. Reminiscent of a large Georgian homestead set in a rural landscape, the joinery is of a very high standard both in terms of the quality of materials selected and the exceptional finishes achieved.

The project scope encompassed the fit out of the kitchen, laundry, bathrooms, wine cellar, all wardrobes and storage cupboards, and the installation of a magnificent curved staircase.

Located at the sunny eastern end of the house, the spacious kitchen features cream two-pack cabinets and sparkling stone benchtops throughout. Nearby is a thermostatically controlled Tas Oak wine cellar with an arched timber ceiling. A private study incorporates classic blackwood joinery.

The double front doors are custom built from the finest cedar whilst all internal doors feature a two-pack painted finish.

By far the biggest challenge was the manufacture and installation of a curved blackwood staircase which had to be setup in the workshop before being transported to the house. The sweeping arc of the staircase is finished with a steel balustrade and blackwood hand rails.

This project was the winner of an MBA Tasmania Excellence Award.
