Also known as Surf and Turf Duplex this project makes use of its large parent lot to create the perception of two detached, stand-alone single dwellings. The layouts of each dwelling are similar for cost effectiveness and build efficiency however, their exteriors express two different nostalgic references – one evoking a Queenslander, beach home typology, while the other is inspired by rural and agricultural forms. This concept successfully satisfied the developer's interests and intended sales market.
Both buildings offer balconies facing the street and covered outdoor entertaining areas with a pool and deck at the back that capture afternoon sunlight and private garden space. To maximize usable greenspace, the lawn is continuous along the rear of both properties. Oversized double height dining areas draw natural light and air into each home at both levels and form generous, impressive meal spaces.
