Property of the week - Franklin

Archived article. People, relative dates, sale status and availability below belong to the original story; this is not a current property listing or offer.

With the client for this home being a retired builder, it was important to build a home that was a lot more than just 'bricks and mortar'.

Designed by Adam Dettrick Architects, one of the main design ideas was to explore ideas of craft.

The form is modern and rectilinear, with hard lines softened by recycled brick.

Internally the timber ceilings show care and precision with their expressed joints, whilst adding warmth to the space.

Sustainability and energy efficiency were important for this home.

All living areas and bedrooms face north, and raked ceilings reach up to maximise winter sun penetration, whilst good shading keeps the summer sun out.

Windows are double glazed with thermally broken frames, and bricks are used internally to increase thermal mass.

The home has been also designed with accessibility in mind.

Step-less access from the street, wide hallways and doors, and bathrooms with the right circulation spaces.

Planning a new shoot

Our photography service describes planning around a property's features, audience and campaign, with shooting standards, colour profiles and editing processes used for consistency. Discuss the required images and other services when booking.

Our Help and FAQs lists standard retouching such as removing flash and tripod reflections, reducing window glare, adding window detail, removing appliance stickers and carpet indentations, making pool and ocean water blue, removing pool cleaners and debris, and greening or repairing existing grass and vegetation. Fire inserts must be specified; obvious cords and fixed hoses need their locations identified. External bins are removed where they could not be moved on site. Blanking or blurring agent signboards is standard; full removal is additional retouching.

Requests to remove permanent external features require written acceptance of responsibility for the specific change because they can misrepresent the property. Ask us to review the edit and its intended use; written acceptance alone does not make every alteration appropriate.

Showing the layout

The article records step-less access, wide doors and hallways, and bathroom circulation space. Floor plans and Matterport walkthroughs are available to communicate layout; confirm the measurements and any accessibility requirements for the brief. Floor-plan files normally return by close of business the business day after measuring. The $75 starting price is for the floor-plan and virtual-services category, not every plan or tour. iGUIDE has separate booking and publication conditions.

For architectural portfolio use, agree the media, territory and duration of the licence when ordering.

The services available

The following service and booking information is based on our published guidance from September 2026. Confirm the scope, price, availability and timing for a new order; these are not records of services supplied for this featured property.

Where images are made for an architect rather than a single listing, two things change: the treatment is held consistent across the practice's work so projects sit together in a portfolio, and licence scope — brochures, display centres, portals, advertising — is agreed at order rather than assumed.

What informed Franklin’s design brief?

The client was a retired builder seeking more than bricks and mortar; Adam Dettrick Architects explored craft and material detail.

How does the home address seasonal comfort?

North-facing living areas and bedrooms, raked ceilings for winter sun, summer shading, double glazing with thermally broken frames and internal brick thermal mass.

Which accessibility features are described?

Step-free access from the street, wide doors and hallways, and bathrooms with suitable circulation space.

When are the finished files delivered?

On our current published terms, photography files are available by close of business on the business day after the shoot. With proofing, the clock starts when selections are submitted, and selections after 5 pm count as the next business day.

How do I request a change to an image?

Image selections and markup pins go through DREAM. Place the pin on the part of the image that needs attention and add a clear comment, which reaches the team member scheduled to retouch it.

How quickly are minor amendments turned around?

Minor amendments are normally available in 2 to 4 business hours, and additional charges may apply depending on the request and scheduling.

How long are the delivered files kept?

Final assets are kept for about 90 days and then removed, so download and store them in your own system. That is approximate published guidance rather than a contractual retention period.

How much notice do you need for property access?

Access details are needed 24 hours in advance. A contact name and phone number helps our field crew resolve problems such as finding the property or coordinating arrival.

What does standard retouching include?

Our published list covers removing flash and tripod reflections, reducing window glare and adding window detail, removing appliance stickers and carpet indentations, making pools and ocean blue, removing pool cleaners and debris, greening or repairing existing vegetation, and adding a fire where specified. Cords and fixed hoses need their locations identified.

How do I start a project with you?

Share the property or development address, the services you need, the campaign channels, any access constraints and your preferred delivery date. We will confirm scope, availability and price on a current quote before anything is booked.
