East of the access sine is a row of joinery and services wall that also serves to provide separation to the sleeping zone. Three bedrooms, bathroom and powder room can be easily closedoff from the rest of the house.
At the end of this sleep zone is a Theatre/Rumpus room .This secondaty living and entertainment space provides for additional flexibility for a young family. This is perfect playroom, away from the adult’s enetainment zone.

This secure home addresses the street and provides eyes-on-the street, which in turn contributes to a safe/comfortable home for the owners. The universal nature of the house design and open plan concept allows longevity and easy adaption by the owners. The nature of the allotment is taken full adavantage, with minimum impact on its natural topography. Privacy and confort of the home with the living zone on the northern side is acived by the mere desire and need to address the street on the south.
