Our client was looking for an ideal space for their elderly parent to live in. This would have everything they need on a day-to-day basis to ensure comfort and accessibility while being near their loved ones.

At 8.15 meters by 4.65 meters, this is a pretty big garden room! It is also a very striking one. It was designed and built by Swift Garden Rooms in close collaboration with their clients. Designed to be a home office, the customers' brief was that the building could also be used as an occasional guest bedroom. Swift Garden Rooms have a Project Planner where you specify the features you would like your garden room to have. When completing the Project Planner, Swift's client said that they wanted to create a garden room with lots of glazing. The Swift team made this happen with a large set of powder-coated aluminum sliding doors on the front wall and a smaller set of sliding doors on the sidewall. These have been positioned to create a corner of glazing. Beside the sliding doors on the front wall, a clever triangular window has been positioned. The way this butts into the Cedar cladding is clever. To us, it looks like the Cedar cladding has been folded back to reveal the window! The sliding doors lead out onto a custom-designed, grey composite deck area. This helps connect the garden room with the garden it sits in.

Outbuildings grow out of their particular function and context. Design maintains unity with the main house and yet creates interesting elements to the outbuildings itself, treating it like an accent piece.

The Maddaluna home was built to very high energy efficiency standards. You can see the Solar panels on the rear elevation. This house's energy bill is less then $100 a month.

Designer’s Dream Guesthouse The popular two bed, two bath Belford is one of our sought-after designs in the Custom Collection. With a timeless wide front porch spanning the width of the Granny Flat, this design blends classic and contemporary styles together seamlessly. A fantastic use of space, the two bedrooms both with built- ins are situated at either end of the home with access to their own bathrooms, offering space and privacy for guests or tenants. The large open plan kitchen and living area is the centre of the home, providing ample amounts of storage and bench space and the perfect space for entertaining, cooking and sharing time with friends and loved ones.
