The Blackheath house designed by Rick Leplastrier was built like a well crafted boat. All the structural timber was on view meaning a lot of extra care when erecting frames. The whole house was joinery rather than carpentry. The beds were made by us to match the rest of the house. We even made the Blackbutt bench to drain into the sink.
