The smallest details can have a significant influence on the way a home comes together. At the new Figtree Hill Display Home by Better Built Homes, considered planning, materiality and functionality combine to create a contemporary family home designed around the realities of everyday living. As Better Built Homes’ exclusive handle partner, Momo Handles forms part of that design story, with the Brooklyn collection in Brushed Bronze selected throughout the home to provide a refined finishing detail against the cabinetry.
A New Direction for Better Built Homes
The Mariote 39 at Figtree Hill represents a new addition to the Better Built Homes portfolio, introducing a more contemporary design language while maintaining the practical thinking that underpins a family home. Rather than approaching each space in isolation, the home has been designed around connection. Generous living areas, indoor-outdoor relationships and flexible spaces create opportunities for family members to come together while still allowing the home to adapt to different stages of life. The inclusion of multigenerational living adds another layer of versatility, reflecting the changing ways Australian families are choosing to live and build.
Creating Connection Through Design
Throughout the Figtree Hill display, architectural decisions have been considered in relation to how they influence the experience of the home. Large openings and skylights strengthen the relationship between interior and exterior spaces, creating a natural extension of the living areas and making entertaining feel effortless.
Curved architectural elements throughout create a sense of movement and continuity from one area to the next, contributing to the natural flow of the home and the way family members can remain connected across different spaces. This approach continues through the interior palette, where a darker and more contemporary cabinetry direction gives the home its own defining character and marks an evolution within the Better Built Homes portfolio.
The Details That Bring a Home Together
Hardware may be one of the final elements introduced to cabinetry, but its impact extends far beyond function. For Figtree Hill, Better Built Homes selected the Momo Brooklyn Big D Handle 448mm in Brushed Bronze and Brooklyn D Handle 160mm in Brushed Bronze. The two sizes allow the hardware to respond to different cabinetry proportions while maintaining continuity throughout the interior.
Brooklyn’s clean, linear profile complements the home’s architectural language, while the warmth of Brushed Bronze creates a considered contrast against the deeper cabinetry finishes. Rather than becoming a feature in isolation, the handles sit naturally within the overall palette, reinforcing the importance of selecting hardware as part of the wider design conversation.
The Figtree Hill display demonstrates that considered design does not need to announce itself. Often, it is the relationship between the larger architectural ideas and the smallest details that allows a home to feel complete.
