A 5-bedroom bungalow with an attic level combines the convenience of single-level ground living with the vertical efficiency of a story-and-a-half structure.
Style Concept: Contemporary Country
Building Profile: Single-story footprint with a steep pitched gable roof incorporating dormer windows to house a functional loft/attic floor.
Core Advantage: Maximizes indoor living area without significantly increasing the footprint on the plot, delivering high ceiling heights and vaulted interior spaces.
1. Exterior Elevation & Roofline
Roof Profile: High-pitch gable roof (40° slope) clad in stone-coated steel roof tiles or standing-seam metal roofing. Designed to accommodate head clearance for the attic living area.
Dormers: Functional gabled or shed dormers with large clerestory windows along the front, side and rear roof planes to flood the attic level with daylight and cross-ventilation.
Facade Finishes: A natural mix of textured stone cladding along the lower skirt, smooth exterior plaster, and warm wood-panel accents framing the entryway.
Entrance Porch: Covered front porch supported by masonry pillars, leading into a double-leaf entry door.
2. Floor Plan & Spatial Layout
Ground Floor Level (Primary Living Zones)
Foyer & Entry Hall: An inviting transition space with a coat closet and guest powder room nearby.
Open-Plan Living & Dining: A high-ceiling family lounge featuring large sliding glass doors opening onto an outdoor patio. The living area is oriented around a focal point, such as a feature media wall or fireplace.
Chef’s Kitchen & Utility: Kitchen with a central island, walk-in pantry, and direct access to an enclosed laundry/utility yard and service entry.
Primary Master Suite: Positioned in a private wing on the ground floor. Includes a walk-in wardrobe, double-vanity ensuite bathroom, and private patio access.
Ground Bedrooms (2 & 3): Two spacious double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, either en-suite or sharing a well-appointed jack-and-jill bathroom.
Attic Level (Secondary & Flex Zones)
Access is provided via an open-tread timber on floating steel staircase originating from the central living gallery.
Bedrooms 4 & 5: Two roof-sloped bedrooms featuring dormer recesses for study desks, skylights, and built-in knee-wall storage to utilize under-roof spaces.
Flex Lounge / Loft Gallery: An open mezzanine lounge or home office overlooking the ground-floor living area below.
