🏠 Introducing The Bellaney Plan – A design close to our hearts

This home began as a custom family build we designed over a decade ago—and we’ve refined it over the years into a layout that balances flow, space, and everyday liveability.

Now at 289m², it features 4 bedrooms (including a master with ensuite and walk-in robe), a separate office, generous storage, and a triple-car garage.

With a spacious kitchen and dining area at its core, and multiple living spaces and outdoor connections, it’s a design that still feels right, ten years on.

📩 Follow along as we show you how it works in practice, or message us if you'd like a custom version of your own.
