Designed against the trend of building bigger, this 106sqm home prioritises quality over quantity. Its neat and compact layout encompasses two bedrooms, with the master featuring an adjoining walk-in wardrobe. The kitchen, dining, and living areas are thoughtfully integrated, creating a space that promotes comfort and efficiency, and the standalone 35sqm garage allows for additional storage. Thanks to its innovative design, this home has no heating installed, setting a new standard in energy efficiency. Clad in Linea weatherboard and fitted with uPVC window joinery, a fully insulated concrete pad, and a heat pump water heater, this home not only delivers on comfort but also ensures low power bills, making it a beacon of sustainability.

We love our new house! After spending some time, you start to notice the smaller details. These details indicate to me a great sense of pride, creativity, and a high standard of workmanship that you just don’t see every day.
