The Nest 145
About This Design
Artist impression — concept only. Specifications and facade options are indicative, not approved construction documents. Buildability must be confirmed for your site with the appropriate professionals.
A budget-friendly two-bedroom, two-bathroom concept under 150 m² on a 10 m frontage — the house is no wider than 8.5 m. The garage wall is designed as a zero-lot wall built to the boundary, keeping the whole other side open for vehicle, boat or trailer access. Horizontal Linea board cladding wraps the front entry to shelter the door under a smooth-sheet soffit. A single garage, simple skillion roof and one continuous eaves line keep the build simple and costs down. Pricing is confirmed at tender — ask us for a current price guide.
