The Mentone Project, affectionately known as the “Travertine Palace,” exemplifies Secon Constructions’ dedication to creating luxurious, modern homes with exquisite attention to detail. This new build boasts an impressive fusion of natural stone elements and contemporary design features, making it a standout in modern architecture.

At the heart of this home lies the extensive use of vein-cut travertine stone, both inside and out, creating a cohesive and sophisticated aesthetic. The exterior façade is characterised by smooth concrete render and striking skyline capping detail, enhancing the home’s clean lines and bold presence. Custom-designed aluminium powder-coated window shrouds and kinetic bronze window and door frames add a touch of elegance to the exterior.

Inside, the seamless integration of travertine continues with stone-clad stair treads, risers, and benchtops. The home’s opulent interiors are further highlighted by polished plaster walls, hydronic under-slab heating, and premium brass fixtures. A key feature is the Vitrocsa concealed track sliding door system, which elegantly merges the indoor and outdoor living spaces, complemented by a fully recessed Centor flyscreen.

This project is further elevated by custom joinery in Polytec Woodmatt Prime Oak, a concealed gas fireplace, and bespoke halo lighting details. The landscaped gardens and fully tiled in-situ concrete pool complete the luxurious ambiance, making the Mentone Project a true testament to Secon Constructions’ mastery in blending style, functionality, and luxury.
