Custom home on a sloping Lake Macquarie site, designed around mine subsidence, BAL-29 bushfire requirements and complex terrain.
For this project, our goal was to design a home that captures the appeal of the modern project home market while bringing the individuality and charm of a custom-built home. By incorporating carefully considered exterior features, we created a design that stands out in the Newcastle residential design scene.
Designed for First and Second-Home Buyers
This home was developed for a property developer working with a tight budget in a subdivision aimed at first-home buyers and second-home buyers in Newcastle’s mid-north coast area. Our focus was on delivering a design that balances cost-efficiency with style, functionality, and long-term livability.
Expertly Navigating Site Challenges
The site presented several challenges, including a sloping block in a bushfire-prone BAL 29 area and considerations for mine subsidence. As experienced building designers in Newcastle and NSW, we carefully planned the design to meet compliance requirements while creating a safe, practical, and visually striking home.
A Trusted Partnership in Custom Home Design
This was our fifth project with this developer and their family, reflecting a partnership built on trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence. Each project allows us to combine creativity with practical solutions, delivering homes that consistently exceed expectations.
