PROJECT GALLERY

A visual showcase of some of our proudest moments in timber supply.
RESIDENTIAL : CENTRAL VICTORIA

Attention to detail has been closely paid to this light filled residential construction in central Victoria. 

From the rough-edged, opaquely oiled posts which create an eye catching sculptural gateway at the fence line of the property to the delightfully innovative detail of grounded burls in the front garden pathway which were rescued a vintage bar area, every end use has been carefully considered. 
 
The home features contemporary design elements that integrate the swirling grains of light Messmate recycled timber from our collection alongside clean-line wall space, floors, glass, beautifully considered lighting and uniquely patterned tiling. The rough edges of some of Nullarbor Sustainable Timber’s aged timber as an exterior mantle has added a great deal of character to the outdoor undercover space. 

The bold use of triple stacked posts - also in sun-tinged Recycled Messmate near the entrance give the living area architectural dimension with high ceilings. The posts beautifully compliment the kitchen bar made from the same species. Messmate also appears in the bathroom areas and vanities, making its mark as a truly versatile species. 

This outstanding family home features a regal entry with sustainable Spotted Gum posts ushering you toward the grand doorway.

Australia’s rich history has been adopted by the property with recycled timber bollards salvaged from  North wharf  in Docklands and statement-making timbers which came from the Army Barracks in Albury in the living and kitchen area..

Its exactly this thoughtfully placed used of dark and light hued recycled and sustainable timber - which adds character yet doesn’t overwhelm the design - that we admire in modern structures.

We congratulate all in involved for their remarkable work.

LUME ARCHITECTURE - RESIDENTIAL -  ELTHAM
moreNullarbor Sustainable Timber worked with Lume Architecture to create this visionary residential property in Eltham.

Spotted Gum decking and posts were utilised along with Recycled Blackbutt lining to achieve the desired effect of rustic, timbery warmth intermingled with modern lines. The bush setting adds to the harmonious, open-aired design.

HOTEL HOTEL : NISHI NEW ACTON PRECINCT CANBERRA

Nullarbor were proud to be part of this remarkable project as timber suppliers.

Located in Nishi, a new mixed-use building in Canberra’s New Acton precinct, Hotel Hotel is the result of an intense collaboration between more than fifty designers, architects and artists. By directly engaging with the complex systems that shape successful cities, though, it transcends the already remarkable sum of its parts.

There are several ways for a visitor to enter Hotel Hotel, the latest addition to Canberra’s remarkably skimpy selection of boutique accommodation offerings. Those looking for a dramatic entry, though, would be best to take the stairs. Here, more than 2150 pieces of recycled timber whoosh up the walls, forming a carapace that somehow manages to be both rustic and baroque, high-tech and low-tech, simple and mind-achingly complex. It makes plodding up the stairs feel a little bit like a jump to hyperspace in the Millennium Falcon – just swap speed-distended strips of starlight for frozen battens of timber offcuts.

The staircase, designed by March Studio, is just one piece of many in the Hotel Hotel puzzle. More architects, designers and creative consultants have had their hand in this knotty concern than it is possible to list, a pluralism that extends to the project’s agenda, which touches on everything from sustainability to urbanism, arts patronage and community development to architecture and design. The force that threads all of this together, though, is a commercial one, which produces contradictions as well as complexity.

Hotel Hotel sits within Nishi, a mixed-use building that is the latest stage in the decade-long realization of the New Acton precinct by Canberra-based developer Molonglo Group. The developer has positioned the precinct as a counter to Canberra’s nebulousness, a dense neighbourhood of the kind of localized urban energy its host city otherwise seems to lack.

PERRICOOTA VINES RETREAT, MOAMA
Nullarbor Sustainable Timbers proudly feature all throughout this luxury spa resort in Moama. Perricoota Vines Retreat was conceived, designed and built by Barry and Jan Donchi, parents of managing director Brendan Donchi and founders of Nullarbor Timbers. Wanting to re-create a slice of Tuscany on the Murray, they used fine timbers from the reclaimed stock piles at Nullarbor in harmony with the surrounding wineries. 
​
The site was originally a vast, empty paddock backing onto the vineyards on Perricoota Rd. Bringing the warmth of hardwoods into 22 villas over-looking a man-made lake and using element-resistant timbers as walk bridges, decks and outdoor tables within the gardens, the resort has helped transform the area into a reputable getaway precinct. The gardens were landscape-designed, nurtured and maintained by Jan alone and grows ever more beautiful every year. 
It's remarkable what you can do with a vision and an eminently sustainable product.

NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AUSTRALIA, CANBERRA
Nullarbor Sustainable Timber supplied these timeless pieces to The National Museum of Australia project, built by Bovis Lend Lease. 

The National Museum of Australia is an iconic structure, aiming to preserve and interpret Australia's social history and the many events that have shaped the nation.
It is fitting then, that they chose Australia's pioneers of reclaimed timber and dedicated rescuers of the nation's natural resources to be part of the vision. 

Situated on the new waterfront of Canberra at the end of the Acton Peninsula, designers positioned the Garden of Australian Dreams at its central core. 

Nullarbor Sustainable Timber supplied recycled Ironbark timber seats that were once utilized as timber posts inside the  Dalgety Woolstore in Port Adelaide.

We are immensely proud to have been part of this visionary, architectural garden of national dreams. 
ECHUCA REGIONAL HOSPITAL, VIC
Nullarbor Sustainable Timber are always thrilled to take part in local products on the Murray, our home base. The Echuca Regional Hospital expansion is a project 
the community has been working toward and looking forward to for decades.

We worked with Hansen Yuncken, the commercial builder on parts of their major expansion. Hansen Yunken have implemented 8,500m2 of new floor area, new wards areas, radiology department, maternity and paediatric wards, emergency department and a rehabilitation unit that supports stoke and cardiac patients. We wish them all the very best in this extraordinary development.

The timber you can see to the left of this page exemplify Nullarbor's ability to create modern architectural touches in contemporary spaces. The repetition of very simple timber structures gives the project a wonderfully sophisticated ambience and a touch of warmth.
RESIDENTIAL PROJECT: MOAMA, NSW 
Nullarbor Sustainable Timber are proud to have assisted this visionary home design project into fruition.

On a large property in Moama, NSW, this home was put together as a lifestyle property that required warm timber accents to balance the modern architectural lines.

Feature timbers include :

  • DECKING: Spotted Gum – 135mm x 32mm – Sawnfaced. 
  • CLADDING: Spotted Gum  – 120mm x 20mm
  • KITCHEN STOOLS (8) timber sourced from the St.kida Pier.
  • HANDRAILS, PERGOLA BEAMS, DOORS & FRAMES - Spotted Gum
  • POSTS -  Ironbark   - 190mm x 190mm
  • RECYCLED INTERNAL CLADDING -  Recycled hardwood  – Rough Sawn.  Sourced from roof purlins out of a warehouse in Moorabin. 
  • FLOORING - Recycled Stringybark -140mm x 19mm. 
  • MIRRORS -  Recycled Timber  – Ex. Timber from the top of old telephone poles.


And a grand dining table made from timber that features extremely distinct patterned black worm holes. The timber for this magnificent dining table was sourced from Nullarbor's St Kilda Pier timber acquisition. The “Teredo Worm” is often referred to as the termite of the sea and over years they slowly burrow their way through the timber and turn it into sawdust, which they then swallow.  
The effect it leaves is both graphic and textured. 


Now there's a story to tell your dinner guests over a good wine. Every piece of timber tells a story as part of Australia's rugged geographic landscape, the owners of this property have created their own picturebook love affair with timber that exudes character, style and warmth.
