PROFILE Apprentice of the Year for 2018 Reece Cleeton is not afraid of hard work and it is this determination that led him to be named 2018 Master Builders Apprentice of the Year. Representing Linear Construction, Reece said he was driven by his competitive nature to deliver the highest-quality finish on all his projects.

Reece’s inspiration to succeed in the building industry hits close to home, as it does for many other family-based builders.

Advertisement Advertisement “THIS build in particular was very personal and it’s a building from my heart and how I see home functions and feeling,” said Mr Mills. “It’s one person’s vision of adapting a home to the landscape, thinking outside the box with a strong emphasis on design.” Mr Mills said as part of the challenge he sought to find an “obscure” lot for the home with the aim of maximising the block without losing the same sense of flow found in a home on a more traditional rectangular block. “We came across the block in question backing onto the golf course at Peregian Springs, an 810 sqm block with a frontage of 33m tapering to 15m at the rear,” he said of the winning Sunshine Coast entry in the 2018 Master Builders Housing and Construction Awards for display homes over $551,000. “Our aim was to show potential clients as a concept to completion construction company, we can adapt to any shape block.” The four-bedroom, four-bathroom home A home built from the heart has a stunning entrance intended to “make a statement of design”. An abstract timber feature stretches across the front entrance with triangular concrete pads with pebble infills between the GM Coast Developments directors Phil Mills and Andrew Gaul came together with a vision front door. The approx. 4m high foyer features to put design at the forefront of the build process. Coming from two people that live and a 12 sqm skylight above the doorway, creating breathe design it was only natural they would want to shake things up in the industry. abundant space and light. Clever storage areas By eliminating the requirement for external architects and designers from the design process are a feature of the entrance way and the theme they are able to connect with the client to deliver a family home that not only compliments continues into the main kitchen which has a secret their lifestyle but minimizes the mis-communication throughout the build process. door to an additional expansive butler’s pantry. “The objective of the kitchen was to be strong on storage, functionality and practicality all combined with a modern, slick look,” Mr Mills said. “The island bench is a full slab of ‘Moak’ which is pure granite from the Silestone Cosentino range. The same benchtop is continued throughout the kitchen, butler’s pantry and the BBQ area outside.” The kitchen flows to an open dining and living area with bay window seating cantilevering over the outside pool, garden and the alfresco area, which is under a 7m x 6m floating roof. This eliminates the need for a corner post, which would have restricted the view of the golf course and limited furniture settings. While the design elements on the outside of the home are amazing, there is no shortage of innovation in the interior. Highlights include the media room, an open walkway with low level floor lights, partitioned powder/shower room, 2 Pac doors and a 6m x 4m master bedroom with a spectacular 4.2m x 3.2m ensuite and a walk-in robe with a draw down bar for easy access for hanging shirts and pants up high. Mr Mills said while the home was being constructed he had moments of self-doubt as he was “living and breathing” the project. “But the response from visitors when they came through was just ‘wow’, and you get revitalised by that.” He paid tribute to his wife Lee who had a key supporting role with elements of the interior design. “This is a very abstractly-designed house and Lee with her interior design input throughout the project furnished and dressed the home perfectly with her finishing touch,” he said. “It’s helped bring the emotion into the place.”
