Compact Single Dwelling
Timber Framed Dwelling
This Colorbond-walled, two-storey container dwelling was carefully and thoughtfully designed to perfectly suit a very narrow block of land, skillfully maximizing every single inch of available space. The clever and efficient layout also featured a cozy guest wing, tucked away discreetly at the rear, providing both privacy and comfort for visitors while maintaining the overall flow of the home. To top it all off, a secure and gated carport was thoughtfully positioned at the front, seamlessly combining practicality with a charming splash of stylish appeal.
This cleverly designed single-person compact unit was thoughtfully planned to be situated on a particularly challenging, steeply sloped lot, which was littered with very large, stubborn hard rocks and an exceptionally tough sub-base. The structure featured timber-framed walls, wrapped in a classic weatherboard outer layer, complemented by smooth gyprock on the inner walls for a polished finish, and topped with a durable Colorbond roof system. Together, these elements created a sturdy yet charming little dwelling that effortlessly blends resilience with a cozy, quirky character.
This charming weatherboard-walled house was originally designed by the client, capturing their unique vision, but several key elements were carefully and thoughtfully altered to enhance and optimize the initial concept even further. In addition, the garage underwent a complete and well-planned redesign to accommodate a dedicated space specifically for a garaged caravan, ensuring plenty of room and ease of use. Cleverly positioned above the car space is a bright and functional office area, blending practicality with a dash of creative flair and making the most of every inch of the design.
