What was your journey to living in your current home?
After a few years of looking, a section remarkably became available on our favourite street and suburb. We knew we would always live there one day, so we did everything we could to make building our home on the recently subdivided section possible. Thankfully, aside from a few pandemic interruptions, the build ran smoothly and we both really enjoyed the process.
How would you best describe your home?
I would describe our build as contemporary yet classic. We designed the layout of the house with family life in mind, creating a separate living area for our boys to have their own space as they grew older. Now 10 and 12, it works so perfectly whenever we are entertaining or they have friends of their own over.



What would you splurge on and save on when building?
We chose to splurge on our flooring as well as tapware, tiling, lighting and window treatments. We recommend doing your homework to make sure you’re getting the best price whenever you can. Controversially, we opted to save by reducing our square meterage instead of making sacrifices elsewhere that just wouldn’t have felt right to us. It might be an unpopular opinion, but we felt that 210 square metres was enough for our family and it worked perfectly with the layout of our home.
