Award Winning Architect Uses Decorative Mouldings For A Fine Finish

A Phillip Mannerheim design

A gorgeous, fifty plus square, two storey home recently built in Nicholson Avenue, Mt. Waverley in the French provincial style owes much of its exterior style to the use of lightweight moulds supplied by The Finishing Touch.  Parapet eave moulds on the upper storey and parapet mouldings for the lower storey with complementary stringer mouldings create a fine finish to the building. Six windows are decorated with architraves whilst arches and keystones adorn the five upstairs windows, creating a stunning façade.

A property currently under development has been designed by renowned, award winning Architect Phillip Mannerheim in the French provincial style. The stunning design for the two storey, sixty square home calls upon the use of decorative architectural mouldings to add a distinguished exterior finish to the house. A grand statement is to be made with a large keystone over the balcony whilst windows are to have a highly decorative finish with French provincial window architraves, feature window blocks either side of the windows and window sill mouldings. Also to be featured are eave parapet mouldings, parapet mouldings between the first and second floor with stringer mouldings 400ml beneath the parapet mouldings.

A more modest, yet highly attractive post-modern home of forty squares is also under development in East Doncaster.  The decorative mouldings to be used for this design include under gutter mouldings, parapet mouldings and quoining panels as well as window architraves on all twenty two windows on the house.

Lightweight decorative mouldings have become popular with Architects, Designers and Builders alike, as they save on costs and time, adding a decorative façade and helping create the intended style of the home, whether French provincial, post-modern, Georgian or Mediterranean.

Building is hotting up with the weather in Melbourne. Architectural decorative mouldings supplier The Finishing Touch have several projects currently under development. The demand for French provincial style exterior mouldings is still strong with this decorative style being very popular with builders and owners alike. A post-modern, 50 squares, two storey house in Brighton was purchased recently and the Owner made the decision to remove the soft curved mouldings currently on the house and replace them with French provincial mouldings. The Finishing Touch was approached to supply large Parapet mouldings 300mm x 235mm, which will be the main feature on the second storey of the building.  French provincial parapet mouldings, measuring 220mm x 170mm will also be featured on this storey. On the ground floor French provincial parapet mouldings, measuring 180mm x 139mm, will add a decorative finish along with French provincial window architraves and matching French provincial window sills and quoinings.

Two more properties under development are post-modern homes. One is a two storey 60 square home in Cranbourne North that will be decorated with parapet mouldings, measuring 200mm x 170mm, along with stringers.  Picture frame window architraves will decorate the windows and quoining panels will add a handsome finish on the porch and balcony.

The other property is a two storey, forty five square home in East Keilor. On the top storey decorative finishes will be achieved with chimney mouldings, large parapet mouldings, measuring 300mm x 250mm around the balcony area and eave mouldings around the entire perimeter of the building.  Flatband mouldings will be used for window architraves with flatband block window sills for the seven windows.
