Wander through the stunning Westbrook display by Simonds Homes in Bankside Rowville, and you’ll be immediately drawn to the timber-rich interiors that create an atmosphere of warmth and inviting luxury.

These tones set the stage for the use of the stunning brass-finish tapware and accessories from Alder - a perfect pairing that balances warmth, contemporary elegance and functional craftsmanship, and practicality throughout the kitchen, butler’s pantry, bathrooms, and laundry.

The Enduring Appeal of Brass

Brass tapware has become one of the most sought-after finishes in modern home design. Its soft, golden hue adds an element of understated luxury without feeling overly polished or cold. When paired with the organic grain of timber, the effect is a harmonious visual balance of light and warmth that feels both refined and welcoming. This combination transforms everyday spaces into moments of subtle indulgence, perfectly suited to the high-end aesthetic of the Westbrook home.

Beautifully Designed, Expertly Engineered

Alder’s designs go beyond aesthetics, thoughtfully blending design innovation, engineering precision, and enduring quality to create functional beauty in every space. Every piece is crafted with the user in mind, offering intuitive functionality, durable construction, and water efficiency. It’s style that never compromises on performance.

“At Alder, we believe in creating more than just beautiful tapware. We design pieces that embody both form and function, ensuring every product delivers lasting performance with a touch of elegance,” Sarah Fairweather, General Manager, Alder.

 In the kitchen and butler’s pantry, the Vito Bertoni by Alder LUXX Gooseneck Hob Sink Mixer and ALFIE Pull-Out Sink Mixer in Brass stands out as both a design feature and a practical tool. The pull-out design offers effortless flexibility, while the brass finish ties seamlessly with the dark timber cabinetry and light stone benchtops throughout the kitchen and surrounds.

In the bathrooms, the Alder LUXX Shower Mixer and LYNX Rain Shower continue the home’s cohesive aesthetic, delivering both refined design and reliable performance with smooth operation and impressive water efficiency. Complemented by the Alder AVVA single towel rail, robe hook and toilet roll holder, in Brass, the combination achieves a beautifully balanced look — elegant, functional, and seamlessly consistent from one space to the next.

A Timeless Balance

Together, Alder’s brass tapware and the Westbrook’s timber accents strike the perfect balance between style and substance. It’s a look that feels grounded yet glamorous, warm yet refined. The result is a home that embodies luxury in its most inviting form — timeless, functional, and aesthetically beautifully considered down to the last detail.
