The experience in this home is like living in a tree-house. Facing onto the adjacent park, the first floor living level and deck features a double height space and spectacular views over gums and the park.
In a positive move to densify city suburbs, this project involves a subdivision with a new house. The small footprint over three levels allows for a generous family home including a vegetable garden and water storage. The north facing aspect and a 6 star energy rating will ensure a sustainable future for its inhabitants and the city.
