ART HOUSE

AUSMAR are passionate about building homes that truly cater to the individual needs and aspirations of those embarking on their first home-building adventure.

Our goal is to ignite the imagination, offering home designs that serve as a blank canvas, ready to be transformed into a personal sanctuary. This case study proudly showcases the journey of Joshua Reilly, an interior designer whose artistic vision, deeply influenced by the bold and striking designs of artist Morag Myerscough, has found its perfect expression in an AUSMAR home.

With a background immersed in the world of art galleries, Josh brought a unique creative flair to his project, envisioning an utterly delightful Ice-cream Parlour aesthetic. Despite choosing one of AUSMAR's more compact designs, Josh's dedication and hard work post-handover have resulted in a truly exceptional dream home.

Join us as we delve into his creative process, the inspiration behind his choices, and the elements he cherishes most within his vibrant and personalised AUSMAR build. Through insightful questions, we explore Josh's experience, from his favourite spaces to the challenges encountered, highlighting the collaborative spirit that underpins AUSMAR's commitment to creating truly unique homes.
