For a starter home this design offers a liveable quality that few house plans can match. Living spaces sweep the rear of the house for maximum solar warmth in winter while an indented alfresco space gathers cool summer breezes to perfection.
Supreme functionality results from spacious and coherent living spaces, a compact children's wing with generous rooms, and a spacious master suite that opens to two outdoor spaces. What is the room with no name? What could you use it for ........?

• A small dedicated cinema room for 4 people; yes !
• A nursery immediately accessible off the master suite (add a sneak door - dotted)?
• A play room for kids - a teen lounge in time?
• A dedicated office space immediately off the lobby - perfect for receiving clients with bathroom access nearby.?
• An overnight (or longer) guest room with across-the-hall access to the bathroom?
• A bar room off the alfresco space ........?

The kitchen serves the alfresco space, the dining space and outdoors while overlooking the living space. Winter sun streams into the dining and living spaces from sun-up while summer sun is held in check by appropriate roof overhangs. Natural thermal comfort doesn't get much better.
The internet desk adjoining the kitchen is perfect for kitchen recipes while adults can monitor kids website content from afar.
Baby sitters have instant access to the kitchen, internet, TV and alfresco spaces yet are only steps from your children's rooms?
Parental supervision works across spaces and between zones!
The parent suite is so close to the children's rooms- yet detached!

This house serves the interest of young family parents including new-born babies. The big hallway is deliberate; a space for visiting parents to park prams and suchlike.
With the bathroom immediately accessible from every space yet discreet, it is the powder room!
Children's bedrooms are close together but acoustically separate.

This house plan is devoted to a young family but mum and dad are not forgotten. Their suite exudes quiet and tranquility and opens to a private garden court and optionally to the alfresco deck. There's space for a flat panel TV at the foot of the bed. Summer breezes sweep over the bed. The master bath is minimalist yet opulent because of it. There is a simple eloquent and understated presence to this design that cannot be described in words. It's about logic and coherence but even that's too clinical. There is feeling in this house, warmth, excitement and tranquility. Ornament is by form and function. The street elevation is sculptural, simple, obedient and persuasive. Do you have a young family that deserves the best?
