So what does it take to win the 2018 MBA award for the best exhibition home in the $350,001 – $400,000 category?
For a start, the Derwent’s highly intelligent use of space means that there are no compromises when it comes to design, inclusions and architectural features and finishes, even with its narrow footprint and 10 metre block suitability.
From the outside, the contemporary rendered Regal façade gives this modern house a feeling of light and space, which continues inside with the generous spaces and large, strategically placed windows. Clean lines in both the architecture and fixtures lets the natural beauty of the timber elements shine, adding warmth to spaces like the bathrooms and living areas. The vast open-plan family area brings together the large kitchen, living and dining rooms and flows onto the sizeable alfresco – making the whole house feel inviting. There’s also a separate rumpus room that leads through to one of the home’s five bedrooms.
The positioning of this particular bedroom – which features a built-in robe and private ensuite – makes sure the Derwent can comfortably cater for the kids, the in-laws and any guest that drops by for a visit.
The rest of the bedrooms and a large family bathroom are upstairs so that you can rest up away from the foot traffic. The master suite is located at the front of the home and boasts an elegant en-suite and walk-in-robe, while the other three bedrooms feature built-in robes.
Just complement this award-winning house plan with sophisticated interior design to give your home a high-end finish.
