Brisbane 2025 Master Builders Award Winner – Best Display Home $600,000 – $800,000

Architectural vision and quality craftsmanship combine to create a family home where luxury meets liveability

Set against the idyllic backdrop of Queensland’s Bribie Island, Driftwood 29 is a statement of modern coastal living, where design, functionality, and craftsmanship come together in perfect harmony. Thoughtfully created by McLachlan Home’s in-house design team, this stunning new display home seamlessly blends aesthetic appeal with practical solutions for contemporary family life.

Positioned on an 863m² block, this design has been meticulously designed to optimise liveability, spatial efficiency, and natural light, while embracing its northern aspect to enhance passive heating and cooling. Every element has been thoroughly considered to create a home that is both visually striking and effortlessly functional.

Upon arrival, the awe-inspiring facade immediately captivates with its carefully curated colour palette. The crisp white Taubmans render allows architectural features such as striking rooflines and window detailing to shine. Rich Woodland Grey cladding contrasts beautifully against the textural Country Ledgestone Aspen stone features, elevating the exterior to a new level of sophistication.

Stepping onto the inviting porch and entering through the timber pivot door, guests are guided inward by the continuation of the feature stone, creating a seamless transition between outside and in. Luxurious Norcia Travertine 600mm x 60mm floor tiling immediately sets the tone for the refined elegance that lies within.

At the heart of the Driftwood 29 lies the centrally positioned kitchen, the true heart of the home. Featuring stunning pendant lighting, stainless steel appliances, and organic white stone benchtops, the kitchen blends classic white cabinetry to the island with the warmth of Chair Oak matt cabinetry. Storage is plentiful, with a butler’s pantry offering additional shelving and an extra sink, ensuring both practicality and elegance.

Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, the open-plan living and dining areas are bathed in natural light, creating a bright and airy space that is perfect for relaxation and entertaining. A striking built-in bar with a statement wine rack echo the kitchen beautifully, reinforcing the home’s modern yet inviting aesthetic.

Bringing the outdoors in, the expansive alfresco area extends the living space seamlessly, complete with a built-in barbecue and external WC, designed for effortless entertaining while embracing Bribie Island’s relaxed coastal lifestyle.

Ensuring both privacy and practicality, the Driftwood 29 features a dedicated kids’ wing, housing three spacious bedrooms (two with walk-in robes), a stylish main bathroom, and a separate WC.

The inclusion of a large media room with a raked ceiling and external access through the lanai provides the perfect cinematic retreat or additional space for family relaxation.

Positioned at the rear of the home, the master suite offers a private sanctuary, complete with a generous walk-in robe and a luxurious ensuite featuring full-height tiling and twin vanities, delivering a spa-like experience within the comfort of home.

Beyond its intelligent layout, Driftwood 29 showcases the exceptional craftsmanship that McLachlan Homes is renowned for. From the high-end finishes to the flawless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, every detail has been executed to the highest standard.

Rounding off this home’s impressive list of features is a large, custom-fitted laundry and the added practicality of off-road, drive-through boat parking accessed through the double-car garage.

A true benchmark for contemporary coastal design, the Driftwood 29 is crafted for families seeking a harmonious balance of style, comfort, and functionality. It is more than just a home, it is an experience — a place where luxury meets liveability, and architectural excellence meets environmental awareness.

The Driftwood was awarded Best Display Home in its category ($600,000–$800,000) at the Master Builders Brisbane Awards on Saturday, 26 July. This stunning home is a truly deserving winner and a wonderful reflection of the hard work and creativity across McLachlan Homes.
