This month we’ve chosen Studio 104 because it is warm and compact; perfect for those who are after something small & low-maintenance or, for those of you who are wanting to downsize.
The kitchen is open plan, with a large island in the centre for preparing and serving food & drinks from. The dining and living area is also part of the same space, making communal living a breeze.
The main living space is flanked by bedrooms. The large master suite is at one end complete with a double wardrobe and ensuite. At the other end are another two bedrooms and a bathroom/laundry.
Heron 103 is an awesome two bedroom design that packs a punch. The focus in this design is living, the whole house is dedicated to it.
An atrium in the centre of the house provides a nice entry point for visitors and is also space for storage to be tucked away in the cupboards. The atrium is flanked by two wings which create a nice symmetry.
The master bedroom is large and equipped with an ensuite. The guest area or second bedroom is small and could double as an office or hobbies room.
Both the master bedroom and the lounge can open out to their own patios, allowing for easy outdoor living.
Panorama 112 is a small two-three bedroom home perfect for those wanting a modern, low maintenance home. With two double bedrooms and a third single bedroom, which could be used as a study, this design can work for many people.
Kitchen, dining and lounge are all situated in one room which is basked in light due to the many windows in the space. The lounge opens up to a large covered patio, extending the living space from inside to out.
A lot of great features are attached to this design which uses space smartly. A laundry area tucks away neatly off to the side of the kitchen. Beside that is a recessed space for a fire, which would do an extremely efficient job of heating the kitchen, dining and living space during the winter. Two bathrooms, including one ensuite, make this house very functional, especially if guests are staying.
With ample space for family living and entertaining, you can be sure everyone in the house will have their own space to wind down and relax.
Two living areas give you options for entertaining. Use the two spaces as open plan or shut off one room from the other. The kitchen is spacious and open with a large scullery that can be used as a pantry, or to hide away clutter.
The bedrooms are separated by the living area; giving those in the master bedroom space from guests or children in the remaining bedrooms and vice versa.
This design also accommodates the space needed for a fireplace, so that you can stay toasty and warm during the cold winter months.
