This spilt level family home is located on a gently sloping elevated section within a newly established subdivision. By minimizing the internal circulation, a compact open plan layout maximizes the achievable building coverage and provides for 3 bedrooms and two living spaces. The house setting takes advantage of elevated city views and a neighbouring reserve.
The contrasting claddings help define the simplicity of the buildings form and set the house apart from neighbouring suburban homes.
