Want to take a sneak peek inside a Bulimba new-build that's drawing a whole lot of Instagram interest courtesy of its sleek interior and iconic façade?
Mosman will open its doors at 11am tomorrow (August 2) for half an hour, marking only the second public viewing of the property after the first inspection drew a crowd of more than 300 people.
FBI Interiors owners Michael and Natalie Ajaje worked with Tim Stewart Architects and McBryde Builders to bring the epic build to life and say their vison for the home was simple.
'We wanted to build one of the best houses in Bulimba, if not Brisbane,' Mr Ajaje said.
Set on an 814sq m block, the home is known as 'Mosman' and marks the latest in a series of designer properties that the Ajajes have completed in recent years.

Described as their 'biggest and best' project to date, it spans three levels and has a commanding street presence due to timber cladding and white battened façade.
'The façade is very unique,' Mr Ajaje conceded.
'It's designed to set the house apart as it's a beautiful home and it deserves to stand out.'
Inside, the attention to luxury detail continues, with the five-bedroom residence boasting a beach club back yard, yoga studio, roulette table, eight-car basement garage, and a bespoke circular staircase that cost an eye watering $250,000.
'It's a house with a lot of big-ticket items,' Mr Ajaje said.
'That staircase is a stunner. It's like a piece of art that you might see in the Hilton or a museum.'
Featuring soaring ceilings, curves, texture and a clever use of space, the property is also designed to be functional.
'It's three levels with a lift and suits everyone from large families to professional couples and even the bachelor lifestyle,' Mr Ajaje said.
Upstairs are four of the property's five ensuited bedrooms including a sprawling 120sq m master suite that's the size of an average three-bedroom apartment.
It comes complete with a dressing room worthy of a Rodeo Drive retailer and an ensuite that would be equally at home in an upmarket wellness retreat.
'We've used all the tools we love,' Mr Ajaje said.
'The aim was to create something that offers easy living, is modern and on trend where there are lots of zones for people to retreat to or come together.'
The central level is all about that communal lifestyle and features an open plan lounge and kitchen space leading out to the outdoor entertaining area overlooking the pool and back yard.
'People love the size of the home and that area out the back,' Mr Ajaje said.
'It's the ultimate entertainer with a beach club vibe and it's built to stand the test of time.'
Downstairs, the basement area includes a games room with casino grade roulette table, a wellness space including yoga room, and a fully tiled, eight-car garage with Ferrari mural.
'The basement ensures there's parking for everyone, but it could also easily be converted to a fully standalone living space to accommodate multi-generational living,' Mr Ajaje said.
'Mosman' is listed with Sarah Hackett of Place and is located at 23 Henderson St, Bulimba.
'I'd love to see it go to a local family with younger or older kids,' Mr Ajaje said.
'It's a beautiful big house that's among the best in Brisbane right now and if you miss it, you could be waiting a long time for something similar.'
