A feature staircase in this design is a must, being the centre point of the dwelling. An amazing ground floor space for indoor/outdoor entertaining with glass door providing an impressive feature shared by both ground and first floors.

The full storey height ceiling of this design enhances the feeling of space to the ground floor living area, but it could be easily developed if more accommodation is needed. The double-sided fireplace with ¾ breast is great for dividing the room without shutting it off completely.

Perfect town house layout for narrow urban plots. Outdoor living space on upper levels is great for additional privacy in built up areas.

Mixed cladding, hard lines and flat roofs popularise contemporary designs and make a real statement about the owner! Shade or sunlight? You choose with covered/open outdoor areas. Restricting direct sunlight is often overlooked in modern designs.

The sheltered atrium-style outdoor area is the centre piece of this home, making it perfect for lovers of outdoor living – south orientation of this dwelling is a must though! Add a canopy and this space can be used throughout the year. Love that idea!

A simple build, extremely functional and an awesome ‘together time’ home! A great open-plan home for a small family.

If you’re lucky enough to have a plot with exceptional views, this workspace over the glazed gables provides the ultimate place for inspiration. The living room is dramatically enhanced by the full storey ceiling height.
