Twins with a Twist


The subdivision of a wide property in Ardross allows the creation of 2 new lots ready for 2 new luxury family homes. Inside they boast the same well appointed layout, high ceilings to the large open living dining area with beautiful kitchen and alfresco area that becomes part of the extended living area when 2 large concertina glassed sliding doors are slid back. The property does enjoy some elevation over the suburb to the rear and you can see the majestic large white gum trees to the park some distance away.  The double car garage and a study or guest bedroom with it's own ensuite sit either side of the entry which opens to a void up to the second floor. A feature recess lit over and hidden wide stairs lead off one side and up to above.  A home theatre room and laundry fill out the ground floor.

The client has expressed his enthusiasm for his project by taking the plans and creating his own 3D plans using some online free software and allowed me to post them here.


 Upstairs enjoy 4 large bedrooms with 2 bathrooms, the master with it's own balcony and well appointed ensuite plus a bonus 'playstation' room. Although the laundry below has a large linen cupboard there is another walk-in linen and store room with plenty of room. Each bedroom has large built in robes and the master enjoys a palatial walk in robe.

Although the homes are the same design, the streetscape was developed to project a different image of each for a sense of individuality but they still project a collective identity of modern sleek homes to the road.  Despite the wall to wall and boundary to boundary approach from the street, the garages have a large door leading down passed the Alfresco to a decent size rear yard which can or will be landscaped for a good size 'backyard'.

Taking advantage of older larger lots to create multiple new living environments is a great way to upgrade to our new way of living. No longer do we have time to take care of large open lawn and gardens and the acceptance of building on the boundary allows better use of space for exact needs rather than just having space.  As 'space' becomes more expensive and living busier with many activities available away from the home, these types of easier care homes have many advantages with a more targeted addressing of needs and wants.

These well appointed luxury homes in a great location will be enjoyed for years to come.


These homes are now complete and ready to move in and they look fantastic.  I have to say that my design work is only the start and so much relies on the client making good choices with their materials, finishes and colours when dealing with the builder.  In this case the selections have resulted in homes of high distinction.
