Living and dining — first look

The upstairs living and dining as first modelled on 29 September 2026: one room 4.12 wide and about 9.7 m long from the island to the balcony slider, the round table in the middle, the sitting area at the balcony end. Furniture positions are to scale; the pieces are still being chosen.

The first three pictures are AI-enhanced images, not photographs. The 3D model sets the room and where everything goes; an image model turned the placeholder furniture into real-looking pieces, using product photos of the table and chairs, with the same styling in every view. Second round (30 Sep): chairs corrected, the Kirra ceiling fan added, the TV cabinet all oak.

What is what (so we remember):

Dining table: Ode Design Sima round, 160 cm, American oak veneer (RJ Living, $2,999).
Dining chairs: black-stained oak bentwood with an open ribbon back and an oatmeal seat, as in RJ Living's own Sima photos (name and price to confirm).
Dining pendant: RoyaleGlow organic wabi-sabi, white, medium 80 × 42 (Royale Basic, ~$1,131). Travertine ring pendants were looked at and parked.
Sofa: low, deep three-seater in an oatmeal performance fabric (to choose).
Lounge chair: Scandinavian oak frame with oatmeal cushions, at the dining end of the sofa (to choose).
TV: Samsung The Frame (Pro), 65", in art mode, on Mastacon's floating TV unit in the kitchen's oak laminate.
Also: round travertine coffee table, large wool/jute rug in cream and sand, floor lamp with a linen shade, coastal art, olive tree by the slider; sheer + blockout curtains on a double track in a ceiling pocket.
Fans: ThreeSixty Kirra 183 in Washed Oak with a black base in the living (next round); FARO Klim 150 black/pine in the bedrooms.

Floorboards in this room (John, 8 Oct 2026). The pictures show the laminate we shortlisted, Solomons Elements Hydro in Cedar Mist DR6616, 1515 × 237 mm. Harriett has suggested the tendered engineered timber instead; that is not yet decided. Whichever is chosen, the boards here must be long (about 1.5 m or longer), in a similar colour, and must look like floorboards: a fine bevelled groove between planks. The question is asked once, under Flooring in 00a.

To confirm or price

Dining pendant power point: centred over the table, which sits in the middle of the room's width and about 5.9 m from the butler's partition (to be set out on site once the table position is confirmed).
TV wall (party wall): blocking for a floating TV unit (~2.0 m long, 300 off the floor) and for a 65" Samsung Frame above it; power at TV height for the Frame's wireless One Connect box; power and data behind the unit.
Curtains: a recessed ceiling pocket along the balcony slider for a double track (sheer + blockout), with an LED strip in the pocket.
Ceiling fans (none are drawn; the electrical legend has the symbols but none are placed): chosen (John, 29 Sep): a ThreeSixty Kirra 183 cm DC fan, Washed Oak timber blades, black base, no light, in the living; a FARO Barcelona Klim 150 cm (matt black body, pine blades) in each bedroom, and an outdoor-rated fan on the balcony. Please price fan-rated fixings and wiring at each, with a wall controller rather than a remote (remotes go missing in a rental). Tender item 15 already includes timber-look ceiling fans to the alfresco, balcony, Bed 1, Bed 2 and Bed 3: please confirm the chosen fans fit that allowance, and price the living-room fan, which is not in it.
Balcony slider height (please confirm): the tender (R2 item 10, “UF/LIVING; 246 Wide Pocket 5 Track OXX”) has it 2700 high, three panels (1147 / 1067 / 1096); the working drawings (WD 10) say 2400. John wants the openings as tall as possible, so we'd like the 2700 as tendered, near floor to ceiling. Please confirm 2700, and how its head works under the 2730 ceiling with the recessed curtain pocket. The pictures are being redrawn at 2700 with three panels.
