Set against lush greenery, this black finish duplex shows how a bold exterior palette can still feel completely at home in a natural setting. Built by CKS Projects, a custom home builder serving Wollongong and the wider Illawarra, this dual occupancy project pairs a sleek, contemporary facade with the surrounding landscape rather than competing with it. Dark cladding, matte finishes, and clean architectural lines create a strong street presence, while established trees and garden beds soften the overall look.
Duplex and dual occupancy builds like this one are an increasingly popular option for clients across Corrimal, Fairy Meadow, and Figtree looking to maximise the value of their block, whether for multi-generational living, rental income, or a future subdivision. Every project involves close coordination between town planning, structural engineering, and landscape design, ensuring the built form works with the site, not against it, and that council requirements around setbacks, privacy, and stormwater are met from the outset.
Black exteriors also bring practical considerations around heat absorption and material selection, which our team factors into the design through material choice, ventilation, and shading.
