Cottage

This house is a classic design found throughout the country. The cottage can have an optional lean-to over the front porch to complete the traditional look.

In this instance, the main structure is 10 meters wide and 5 meters deep with a 30 degree gable roof. Attached to the back is a 10 meter wide and 5 meter deep lean-to. That makes a for a very comfortable 100 square meter cottage. We can customise this cottage to meets your requirements – larger or smaller, weather boards or corrugated iron.

There are various floor plans for this house. There is an option to have the living area in the front of the house or at the back. Another option is to have the living area along one side of the house and the bedrooms on the other.

The ceiling in the front of the house can be exposed to follow the roof line – a vaulted ceiling. Alternatively, a mezzanine floor can be installed for a storage area in the roof and the ceiling made flat.
