Go alfresco with Clarendon Homes

At Clarendon Homes, we’ve been building in Australia for over 35 years. This means that we’ve had three-and-a-half decades building 25,000 homes that cater to Australians and their way of life. Each of our homes is built for all the things Australia is famous for – the heat, the storms, the sports loving families and, perhaps most importantly, for those much loved Aussie barbecues.

Each Clarendon Homes design leaves ample room for fantastic alfresco areas, with clever designs and finishes that open the inside up to the outside and bring the outside in, all at once.

So although ‘alfresco’ might be an Italian term, we’ve made it truly Australian with space for barbecues, impromptu backyard games and the whole family without even breaking a sweat. (Which, considering the heat down here, is quite an effort!)

And, not that you want to be stuck in the kitchen on ‘barbie’ day, but if you were, it definitely wouldn’t be so bad considering just how pleasing our kitchens are. The heart and soul of the home, they do the island benches and butler’s pantries and excellent appliances perfectly so that your time spent here is a joy and never a chore (though we can’t promise the kids will feel the same. After all…stacking the dishwasher is still stacking the dishwasher).


So whether you’re a social butterfly at heart, a Sunday ‘barbie’ devotee (and really…who isn’t?) or just like to get some fresh air and admire your home from another angle, if you’re thinking alfresco, think Clarendon Homes.

There’s no kitchen like a Clarendon Homes kitchen


What would a home be without a kitchen? Which other room would you walk in to as soon as you got home, searching for treats? Where else would linger for hours busily creating delicious offerings for the whole family? Where else would you come to for breakfast, lunch, dinner and all the delicious snacks in between?

At Clarendon Homes, we figure that since you need to eat to live, why not live to eat? That’s why each and every one of our kitchens is the centerpiece of the whole house, placed so that even when you’re scanning the fridge for that last piece of chocolate (where DID that last piece of chocolate go?!), you don’t have to miss a thing (except maybe dad eating that last piece of chocolate in the nearby alfresco area).

Yes, that’s right. We know kitchens and we understand the part they play in each and every household. That’s why Clarendon Homes kitchens are perfectly positioned and packed with loads of little luxuries. From fantastic appliances and finishes, to huge island benches and oh-so indulgent butler’s pantries, these kitchens are were chefs are born.



These are kitchens were parties start and nights end, where weekends begin and deliciousness can be found. Clarendon Homes kitchens are the kind of kitchens were, even if you’re not hungry, you’ll hang out in the kitchen because it’s just a good place to be, and hey…surely you’ll be hungry soon. Bon appetite a la Clarendon Homes.
