Smart by Design

A compact footprint doesn’t mean compromise. This 137sqm home combines architectural form with considered planning to create a light-filled, efficient space with a real sense of style. From the street, a mix of vertical dark cladding, brick and timber highlights gives the home a contemporary edge. Inside, an open-plan layout flows from kitchen to dining to living, with sliders leading to a sheltered deck — perfect for morning coffee or relaxed summer evenings. The kitchen is sleek and practical, offering generous prep space and plenty of natural light. The main bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and tiled ensuite, while two additional bedrooms share a stylish bathroom with built-in bath. With three bedrooms, two toilets, and good indooroutdoor flow, it’s set up for family living. The home is also a sustainability success story. Built as part of Sentinel Homes’ Waste Project, construction landfill waste was reduced from the typical five tonnes to just 340kg — a testament to the builder’s commitment to rethinking industry norms and designing out waste wherever possible. The layout is thoughtful, and you can see the care that went into making it both functional and stylish. For homeowners wanting design, performance and value, this example proves that smart choices make a lasting impression.
