This is a project designed as a prototype for an affordable Architect-designed home.
We worked closely with a quality builder & engineer, combined with our own experience, to develop a design that focuses on the fundamentals - an efficient floor plan that limits the square meters, simplifying the structural elements (minimising the need for steel & concrete for example), as well as using cost-effective finishes (flooring, tiles) & fixtures (taps, appliances etc).
May 2025 - Under Construction. Looking towards the front door & garage entry
The Kitchen, Living & Dining spaces orientate to the courtyard & have been planned to allow cross-ventilation through the main spaces of the home.
Below: The courtyard & outdoor terrace flows freely onto the same level as the internal Living spaces. The home has been designed to give meaningful separation between living spaces & bedrooms. A home wellness space downstairs at garage level with ice bath, steam room & shower offers a place for exercise & recovery.
A health & wellness space is located at the rear of the double garage, with flexibility to change to a Teeneger's retreat or rumpus room in the future.

"Renovating your home can be a very complicated and stressful process. Not when you have James, he makes the process completely relaxed, stress free and enjoyable. Engaging FOLAR Studio as our Architects was the best decision we made.
The design concepts James created from our first conversations were spot on. Watching your thought bubbles and mood board visions appear in his 3D design concepts at the initial phase and within a very short time frame was impressive. He is creating our dream home for our family and we couldn’t be happier with the process".
