A modern take on a country style 2019
Built as a Minor Housing Unit next to a young family’s home, this small yet spacious dwelling provides everything for downsized inter-generational living.
With vaulted ceilings and feature trusses, the 4m wide main living pavilion is joined to other pitched roof forms to mimic clusters of farm buildings on this rural property.
Additional exterior features have been added by the clients over time to nestle this small smart building into the landscape, and create indoor/outdoor living.
