Brilliant is a fitting word for this architectural show home. Freedom Built’s 177sqm house invites in sunshine and warmth, has bright, fresh decor and the quality of craftsmanship is a shining example. Its eco credentials also ensure the three-bedroom, two-bathroom property treads lightly on the land. The timber- and plaster-clad house strikes a note with its strong, clean lines and street presence. Inside, a sophisticated open-plan area merges living and kitchen spaces with a designer kitchen and butler’s pantry. With doors that slide open to outdoor areas, this is an ideal space for entertaining; a playground zone in the landscaped backyard reinforces it’s also a haven for family.

The palette amplifies the feeling of openness: white walls, pale timber cabinetry and laminate flooring. Spacious bedrooms include a luxurious main suite with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. Energy efficiency and sustainability are as important as craftsmanship in this house. Cue low-e double-glazed windows with argon gas, LED lighting and strategically placed high windows that enhance ventilation and reduce reliance on artificial lighting. Construction materials include sustainably sourced cedar cladding, low-VOC paints and high-performing laminate flooring. This is a home that balances refined contemporary living with environmental responsibility.
