Maximum Quality on Minimum Land
The challenge for city planners' with increasing density to limit urban sprawl is to create liveable neighbourhoods on smaller lots. Resultantly, prospective home owners are then challenged to fit their housing expectations into a smaller package.
Grandwood Homes have in turn accepted the challenge and created a good size family home on a small Subiaco lot with considerable features. 362 m2 of home on 332 m2 of land. Without sacrifice to the feel of spaciousness and with the quality of workmanship and materials that are the tradition of this personal building company.
With a frontage of only 12 metres and a requirement for a double garage on the small site, the design difficulty of avoiding the dominant appearance of the garage at the front boundary has been skillfully overcome by a layered frontage. Four roofs of varying heights break up the mass of the building and create intrique. A blend of colours and texture from the use of render, ceramic tiled walls and cedar comlement the perspective.
