The requirements of this new three-bedroom home created a challenge for the builders, with considerations such as a north entry and a strategically placed rain garden necessitating a side-entry garage. The solution was to provide a living area on the north side for warmth in winter, and an entertainment area leading to the private deck for enjoying the late-afternoon sun in summer. The main bedroom suite benefits from a similar location.

A high raking ceiling over the kitchen and dining area adds to the sense of light and space. This also allows the warm sun to stream into the living area, making it a bright and welcoming space to socialise with friends and family. Elements such as a barn-style door, pendant lighting and feature walls to display the homeowners’ artwork, add character and personality to this 178sqm dwelling.

An attractive exterior contrast has been cleverly created with the use of light horizontal and black vertical cladding on the street elevation, drawing the eye to the bold yellow entry door. The monopitch roof design beautifully finishes off this truly modern suburban family residence.
