A Taste of our Collections...

Collection Multi-generational Homes
(via Lunchbox Architect)
Collection Duplex Duplex developments are popping up all over our cities. While they can be a great way to increase density, they need to be designed well! Collection House Plans Find a range of house plans for your inspiration. From one bedroom houses to larger family homes, you're sure to find the house plans you need here.
(via Lunchbox Architect)
Collection Staircases Staircases come in all shapes and sizes, but the best examples of staircases are features of the home in and of themselves.
(via Lunchbox Architect)
Collection White Kitchens White is a safe and elegant choice for the kitchen. Take a look at all the white kitchens we've featured on Lunchbox Architect... Collection Skylights Skylights are a brilliant way to bring natural light into the home - especially when you're in a built up area with no sweeping vistas. Collection Passive House Passive house (German: Passivhaus) is a voluntary standard for energy efficiency in a building, which reduces the building's ecological footprint. It results in ultra-low energy buildings that require little energy for space heating or cooling.
(via Lunchbox Architect)
Collection Woodland Grey® Woodland Grey® is inspired by the depth of cool green forest, the canopy of eucalyptus on a rugged mountain plateau, the twisted bark and deep olive green leaves of teatree along the coast, the mossy boulders and ferns found in mountain crevices.
(via Lunchbox Architect)
Collection Window Seat There's no better place to curl up with a cuppa and a book than your very own window seat. It's the perfect place to sit and unwind.
(via Lunchbox Architect)
Collection Louvre Windows Louvre windows aren't what they used to be. These days they seal well and look great. Plus they maximise natural ventilation. Collection Terrace Renovation Full of character but dark and stuck with a long, narrow block, terrace renovations are a challenge, but the outcomes can be incredible. Collection Acreage House Designs If you're looking for a house design for your acreage block, it can be overwhelming to decide what to do. Here are some options to consider.
