Our Design Direction

Franklin 32

4 2 Double 32 sq (≈ 297 m²)
Confirmed

Illustrative concept imagery — facade and floorplan details to be confirmed during Design Development.

Why this direction suits you

  • A single-storey layout keeps living on one level — practical for young children and easy to navigate as your family grows.
  • Four bedrooms plus a study nook gives room for family life and hybrid work.
  • Open-plan living with butler's pantry and alfresco directly reflects your stated priorities.
  • A separate children's zone allows the kids to spread out as they grow.
