Little Palm

Design
The Hillcrest plan was selected for its rear-living layout, allowing for open-plan entertaining and better use of a small backyard. Changes to the kitchen layout created a more open feel, with cabinetry along one wall.

The ensuite was reconfigured to remove the corner shower in favour of a larger rectangular design and now includes a double vanity - offering increased functionality and a sense of luxury.

Extra storage was added to the laundry, complete with power points to charge vacuums and appliances.

Bedroom layout was another key consideration. The master bedroom was positioned at the front of the home - strategically distanced from neighbouring patios and outdoor areas. This design ensures a quieter retreat, especially on weekends or when surrounding homes are entertaining. The two additional bedrooms sit mid-house, close to the main bathroom, perfect for guests, future tenants, or a small family setup.

The outdoor area was paved entirely to reduce maintenance and enhance usability, transforming the compact backyard into an extension of the indoor living space.
