Grand Display on Narrow Lot

The client had a narrow lot in Manning and wanted a good family home. The client had specific requirements for colours and the style of the home and result is quite substantial for a narrow house. 

A very large gum tree in the front yard is echoed in the bold stair well with tall arched window.


With all the children now grown and moved on or independant, all the minor bedrooms together with a casual living area were placed upstairs.  The sketch shows an earlier arrangement.  The local authority insisted the balcony width to the street was reduced (what on earth brought such a rule into the codes???) and the stair case was moved to the front, which of course brought about a stunning elevation.
The completed home.
