Kyal and Kara’s Stunning Projects with Cemher Microcement. A Mediterranean Coastal Dream

When it comes to creating unique, stylish homes, Kyal and Kara from 'The Block' are well known for their visionary design and attention to detail. In two of their recent projects, they turned to Cemher microcement as their material of choice, opting for its versatility, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Their journey with Cemher is a story of meticulous research, hands-on learning, and extraordinary execution, resulting in two homes that are both modern and timeless.

The Search for the Perfect Material: Why Cemher?
Before embarking on these projects, Kyal and Kara conducted thorough research into microcement products available across Australia. After evaluating different brands and options, they chose Cemher due to its trusted reputation, superior capabilities, and rigorous testing standards. What stood out to the couple most was how Cemher microcement could seamlessly complement the Spanish Mediterranean coastal vibe they envisioned for their homes.

Hands-On Learning at the Cemher HQ
Committed to getting every detail just right, Kyal, Kara, and their team made the trip to the Cemher HQ on the Gold Coast to learn first-hand about the Cemher system. This hands-on training allowed them to fully understand how to apply the product to achieve the exact finish and texture they wanted for their projects. The personalised training ensured that every surface in both homes was treated with precision, creating cohesive and flawless results.

Spanish Mediterranean Coastal Vibes: The Two Projects
Both of Kyal and Kara’s recent homes were designed with a Spanish Mediterranean coastal aesthetic in mind. They share a similar colour palette, with natural, earthy tones that evoke a serene coastal ambiance. However, each home tells its own story through subtle yet impactful differences.

House 1: Light, Airy, and Bright
The first home leans into a lighter colour palette, using soft, neutral shades of Cemher microcement throughout. From the interior walls to the exterior surfaces, the microcement’s smooth, matte finish enhances the airy and relaxed atmosphere. The clean lines and gentle textures create a welcoming space filled with light, perfectly capturing the Mediterranean vibe.

House 2: Moody and Coastal Chic
The second home, while still aligned with the Mediterranean coastal theme, introduces a moodier, darker palette. The slightly richer tones of the Cemher microcement give the space a more dramatic, yet still elegant, feel. By using darker hues in key areas like feature walls and bathroom finishes, Kyal and Kara created a cosy, intimate atmosphere that is both stylish and sophisticated.

Why Microcement is Perfect for Coastal Homes
Cemher microcement is the ideal choice for homes near the coast. Its seamless application makes it highly resistant to water and humidity, essential qualities for the often unpredictable Australian coastal climate. Whether it's in wet areas like bathrooms or high-traffic zones like kitchens and outdoor spaces, Cemher provides a durable, low-maintenance surface that maintains its beauty over time.

Elevating Design with Cemher
Kyal and Kara’s projects showcase the flexibility and aesthetic power of Cemher microcement. By using this innovative material, they were able to create two homes that are not only visually stunning but also built to last. Whether it’s the light, airy feel of House 1 or the moody elegance of House 2, Cemher microcement was the perfect partner for their vision.
