21st Century Classic
By Kit-Markin Construction
Gold Award Winner 2022
Stylish, low-maintenance urban living is no longer limited to cities. More people are migrating to our regional towns, seeking the quality of life they afford, yet keeping some of the benefits of city living. These homeowners sought to achieve that balance in this clever new build. And that’s what they received. The eye-catching form with its red brick and tray cladding is distinctive and complementary in a town that retains many of its early buildings.
The stylish brick entrance provides a place for visitors to pause before entering the 192sqm home. The footprint generously accommodates three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living areas. The interior is bright and welcoming, with a sky window and vaulted ceiling providing light and volume to the primary living space. Blonde timber flooring contributes to the sense of flow in the living areas. Picture windows bring the outdoors in, while hardwood decking offers inviting areas to relax and entertain.
With features such as low-e double-glazed, thermally broken joinery; code-exceeding insulation; extensive solar panels for clean energy; and a water tank, the home is sustainable, warm and well equipped. It’s also singular, stylish and modern, yet also timeless.
