CUSTOM HOME PORTFOLIO
A Hedger Constructions custom home is defined by innovation, integrity and quality. As a family company, we understand the importance of building your home and approach each project with the aim of total client satisfaction. Our innovative approach to construction provides the end-to-end solution and flexibility to create a custom home that’s uniquely yours.
Multi-Level Luxury Home
This stunning new 4 level Hedger Constructions home is situated on tight Melbourne suburban block. The external design intent was to create a unique property with a clean, modern aesthetic which utilised different materials to create texture, character and a sense of warmth. Cladding materials include spotted gum timber, rendered surfaces and Coolum stone, with timber lined eaves providing earthy tones to the exterior.
The home showcases indoor / outdoor living at its finest, with wrap around glazing for the open plan kitchen, dining and living area, allowing it to open onto an extensive alfresco space. With Limestone paving, an outdoor woodfire set into a stone fireplace, BBQ and kitchen unit, and stunning spotted gum ceiling linings, the alfresco area can be enjoyed regardless of season. A reeded glass screen provides privacy for the adjacent spa and pool.

Custom Rural Sanctuary
Clever selection of earthy toned cladding materials, a selective glazing package and the 12-degree roof pitch design allow this new Hedger Constructions custom home to sit in harmony with its rural surrounds. Fine Adze Granite provides an elegant simplicity and is complemented by handmade charcoal-coloured Flensborg brickwork, imported from Denmark. The use of yellow stringybark feature cladding to key areas provides a contrasting change to the tones. Timber blades on the guest wing not only complement the style, but also have the functional aspects of privacy and allowing services such as downpipes to be concealed, giving clean lines to the build.
Internally, the artisan craftsmanship of Hedger Constructions is on full display. The central zone of the home features a raked ceiling of Tasmanian oak, which is counterbalanced by light honed Italian Natural Stone flooring. The focus of the space is the centrally placed triple sided woodfire, custom designed and detailed, using individually shaped New Pearl Limestone pieces. It is anchored by an extended hearth of large format sintered stone in rich bronze.
A bespoke kitchen is flooded with natural light via an impressive glazing package including electric opening clerestory windows for natural cross ventilation. An environmentally conscious, silica free Corian benchtop features a waterfall edge on one side and is balanced by a cantilevered plane on the opposing side. The butler’s pantry is discreetly positioned to allow the working elements of the kitchen to be concealed.
At either end of the open plan central zone are guest and private wings. Here the high ceilings and expansive shared spaces are juxtaposed with an intimate approach using tactile finishes and materials, creating inviting, restful sanctuaries.

Award Winning Semi-Industrial Farmhouse
With its use of earthy toned cladding materials and soaring 45-degree roof pitch this award wining custom home creates connection with the rural setting and surrounding hillsides. Honey Granite stone has been used to great effect for key cladding both externally and internally, and marries beautifully with the natural surrounds.
The client’s wishes for relaxed lifestyle living have been met with an extensive undercover entertaining area including outdoor fireplace and an amazing flyout style lap pool. The 25m lap pool dramatically extends out of the hillside, giving an endless appearance to its design. The area has a feature stone clad pool house with powder room and storage areas, whilst pool services are cleverly contained within the pool shell.
In the main living zone the eye is immediately drawn to the exposed black steel lattice trusses soaring to the cathedral apex of the ceilings. The feeling of space is enhanced further with integrated truss lighting and a mirror set into the trusses at the end of the room, reflecting the detailed steel work. This architectural statement provides a semi-industrial feel to the home and is complemented by the double glazed commercial window package.
The kitchen’s stainless steel benchtops further enhance the industrial feel and provide practical functionality. Stunning stainless panelling makes a feature of the island bar, whilst 2 Pac finishes to the rest of the cabinetry in white, accentuate the openness of the area. The set out of the kitchen area includes a butler’s pantry, expansive storage areas and clever window placement framing the rural scenery.
Hedger Constructions are proud to have received the 2023 MBAV Best Custom Home Over $2M Award, Northeast Region for this outstanding build.
