“I approached Laurence to present a concept for my new home on a 230 sqm site. I wanted a 2 bedroom+ 2 bathroom home, plenty of light, a feeling of spaciousness and with an outdoor living area. Quite a challenging proposal. As soon as I saw the drawing for this house it felt right immediately. I have now been in my house for just on a year and wouldn’t change any aspects. It more than meets my expectations. The house is very sunny, light and friends suggest it has a serene feel and appears to be larger than the physical measurement. I have a lovely outdoor courtyard, which is well used all year round. Laurence was a pleasure to work with and helpful in some of his suggestions to get the casual feel I was after. My builder, Scott Crook of Construction One found his workings and attention to detail made his process easier. I get many compliments on my house from family, friends and locals. Indeed some locals have stated they looked at the site and couldn’t imagine a house being built on such a small site.”
