Hardie™ Fine Texture Cladding has been used on the front façade, while Linea™ Weatherboards have been used at the back of the house.

While the footprint of the house fills the sub-divided block, with small pockets for courtyards, the home doesn’t feel restricted due to an abundance of natural light from windows and strategically -placed sky lights in bathrooms and bedrooms.

This new build project on a sub-divided block in Launceston delivered simplicity and minimalism to the owner and his daughters. The homeowner wanted to take on a new creative challenge, and started the journey to designing a spacious new home for his family.
