South Cres is a modest, two-storey home, placed on a compact inner suburban site. Sustainable design and building principles guided this modular build, with sustainably sourced materials cladding the exterior in black and brick, contrasting the bright and light-filled interior of the house. With a build area of 176m2, a simple selection of material and clever spatial planning delivers a modest and practical home for the young growing family who now reside there. A bright and airy first floor with a northern interface in the living area offers high levels of daylight to beam through the living, kitchen and dining.
