SMART DESIGN FOR SMALL LOT LIVING
🔹 The Challenge: Maximising Potential on a Small Lot
Located in Ascot, Brisbane, this workers cottage renovation was set on a small lot in a demolition control precinct area—a space that demanded both creativity and smart design. The goal was to create a beautiful, functional home that would cater to a family with young children, while adhering to the design restrictions of the area.
💡 The Vision: Efficient and Family-Friendly Design
✔ Family-Oriented Layout – With a growing family in mind, the home was designed to have living and entertaining areas on the ground floor and bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor, ensuring optimal functionality and separation of spaces.
✔ Design Integrity & Street Appeal – The challenge was to make sure the design didn’t compromise on aesthetic appeal or the neighborhood’s character while optimising the available space.
🏗️ The Transformation: Intelligent Design Meets Smart Construction
✔ Minimised Structural Changes – We smartly reduced the volume of structural alterations to the existing house, mitigating construction costs without sacrificing design quality or street appeal.
✔ Maximised Space – Every inch of the small lot was carefully considered to ensure maximum functionality and practical living without feeling cramped.
✔ Preserved Character – The renovation seamlessly blended the charm of the original workers cottage with modern family needs, ensuring the home looked as good as it functioned.
🎯 The Result: A Beautiful and Functional Small Lot Home
This Ascot renovation proved that clever design and planning can transform a compact space into a stylish and family-friendly home, all while keeping costs down and preserving the property’s street appeal.
🏡 Small lot, big impact. A design solution that maximises every square metre.
