Brief Crafting a custom home design tailored for a family of 5, incorporating multi-generational living on the ground floor for the grandparents, alongside the inclusion of an office and a prayer room. Design & Approvals Situated on a corner lot with a substation on one side, the design needed meticulous consideration. Approval pathways were pursued through the council due to the substation and the corner lot size. This approach aimed to maximize the build and optimize land usage, including provisions for a future swimming pool. Challenges Despite the flat nature of the site with ample access, notable challenges surfaced, primarily related to the corner lot’s radius and the adjacent substation. Addressing safety concerns, walls had to be fireproof, and the balcony was constructed with a brick veneer finish. These considerations were essential to meet both safety standards and aesthetic preferences.

Professional Reviews

“Being a first home buyer we wanted to build a home that is built right the first time. We were inundated by plenty of info on the internet and information sessions on various topics related to first home, build and various horror stories. During this process we stumbled across Marvel homes… They were patient enough to listen to and answer all our queries and they would back this up by encouraging us to verify those answers from other sources ourselves. Marvel Homes were flexible and worked in collaboration with us to build our new home. We found the passive house build process informative, assuring and flexible enough to get our ideas into the house building process. Thank you Marvel Homes…. We loved having you as our Builder. Highly recommend!”
