Contemporary house design
This is a somewhat contemporary house design where the predominant views and light are to the south and west which are to the front of the house in this case. A first floor veranda had been included to take full advantage of the elevation of the site. The house design itself had been carefully crafted to sit into the existing neighbouring mature house design setting.

This is a virtual walkthrough video of a new home design with West facing front elevation in a suburban setting. Much care has been taken to bring some Southern light into the living space as well as eliminating overlooking concerns. The main building form is simple but the contemporary living space annex to the side adds an architectural flourish
House Design 14
This house design was tailored to a particular site in a very open and elevated field where wind shelter, view capture and creating some initial detail on site to set out the beginnings of a landscaping plan were important. The house is essentially two key building forms that are staggered in plan to create a sheltered external patio space facing the rural views link with a flat roofed section. The siting of the building also creates some privacy from the main road.
House Design 15
Contemporary house design
This is a significant new build home in a suburban location. The design goals included creating a private rear garden since taking in beautiful tranquil rural views and the design theme leans towards the classical particularly at the main entrance porch and at windows and indeed internally. This particular site is also on a flood plain so the building is slightly elevated.
House Design 16
Contemporary house design
This is a wonderful design on a complex site where we needed to balance a variety of rural views with both the topography of the site and the path of the sun. Careful attention was given to the building size and shape so balance the design goals whilst not creating too much visual prominence from the roadside.
House Design 17
European house design.
If yours is an Alpine type setting then this is the house for you. Set in a woodland area with inner harbour views, this house borrows some European features such as pronounced roof soffits and stone facades which add a timeless theme to this otherwise contemporary styled home. The house is designed to sit in harmony with its mature deciduous neighbours.
House Design 18
Classic architectural design.
When you need to build a new home in an established neighbourhood your new elevation needs to stand proud in its surroundings. This house leans back to a slightly more classical era whilst still boasting modern finishes and of course heating, ventilation and window systems. Much care and attention is given to maximise spatial flow and quality living and utility space whilst making the best of the southerly rear aspect and private gardens in a mature setting.
