Manufacturing is still an Australian operation which, Andrew says, puts Astra Walker in the best position to respond to the needs of the local market. With a recycling program in place, a commitment to finding further efficiencies for saving water and electricity is also at the heart of the business. In keeping with Astra Walker’s commitment to sustainability and quality control, all tapware products come with a high WELS rating. The greatest challenge is choosing from the selection of finishes which extend from classic chrome through to brass, bronze, black and beyond. “Every detail and material choice is a reflection of the Astra Walker brand.” “This collection with the Knurled diamond-cut pattern evokes an experience that is both indulgent and functional,” says Andrew Shirtliff, Astra Walker brand director and co-founder.

Having a simple uncluttered form, this range forgoes trends for an enduring design that transcends time. It’s the sort of detail one might notice while lying in the bath, contemplating life. Made from solid brass, the fine knurl detailing creates a striking surface on the Icon Knurled Lever handles without drawing too much attention to itself. With the range extending from wall and counter-mounted basin sets through to floor mounted freestanding bath mixer with swivel mount, Knurled Icon + Lever collection epitomises the concept of minimum effort for maximum results. The statement mixers, levers and showerheads combine rounded curves with sharp angles, offering a quietly tactile experience in the bathroom. These have been overlaid with a fine, hand-finished diamond-cut knurled pattern applied to the levered handles. Fitting all this living into one accessible level necessitated, in Stuart’s words, a “fat plan.” Nevertheless, Vokes and Peters brought light, ventilation and a connection to the outdoors into the depths of the dwelling by doglegging the kitchen and combined living/dining area to form a courtyard.The latest addition to the Astra Walker tapware family, the Knurled Icon + Lever collection, is built on the strong contemporary lines of the Australian company’s popular Icon + Lever range. The brief also included a separate studio for travelling writers – part of the client’s long-held philanthropic plan. The couple had worked with Vokes and Peters previously but this time around, they came to the firm with a piece of land on the edge of a reserve in Byron Bay and the request for a new home to grow old in. The clients for this project are the best possible caretakers. Rather, the low-slung structure instills a language of craft and care that will, in the right hands, endure. There are no cut corners and nothing too fashionable. “As architects, if our work is preserved by future generations it gives meaning to our own endeavours.” True to form, the recently completed Byron Bay House and Studio is a forever kind of house. By his own admission, Stuart Vokes of Vokes and Peters is chasing perpetuity.
