"When we started to build a couple of years ago no one would touch the
local council." Eventually both home design and builder were found in one
with Planwell. "The piece of advice we got early was to figure out what
our budget was and work backwards from there".

The new house was built with both the slopping block and growing kids
in mind. As well, the views to the Lane Cove National Park were maximised
for all living spaces and the playroom at the rear. "If you are lucky enough
to have a view, be sure to work it into the design". Clever inclusions were
considered like sensor lights in the hall upstairs near the bedrooms.
