Kidman Lane | Plus Minus Design

Briefs are rarely this demanding on a small site in a heritage controlled inner suburb and with a modest budget, create a functional home with additional bedrooms and off street parking. A garden too, please. And don’t upset the neighbours!

Our elegant, efficient and flexible plan delivers generous living spaces connecting to a landscaped garden, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and off street parking. The sawtooth roof (inspired by a nearby warehouse) provides high ceilings without overshadowing plus abundant light/ventilation.

The courtyard garden extends the living/dining areas and transforms into parking. Upstairs, 3 rooms interchangeable as bedrooms, offices or living areas plus a spacious bathroom.

Detailing is direct thoughtful arrangement of standard components rather than high-end craftsmanship while vibrant colour design animates and amplifies spatial character.

Although different, the home fits the suburb. Not only did Council approve a potentially controversial design, it has been enthusiastically welcomed by neighbours you’ve renovated the whole street!
