Dewar Terrace Haus with Lachlan
At Happy Haus we are huge fans of single-level homes for the ease of living and sublime connection to the outdoors. Hear from Lachlan how Dewar Terrace Haus came into being and what the considerations and outcomes mean to him.
When building new homes, most feel forced to go up to retain useable outdoor space; however, who wouldn't want to live on one level and be staircase-free? Especially when you can also maximise blurring the lines between the backyard and living zones to create extended outdoor living spaces.
Our Dewar Terrace Haus is located in Sherwood, a lush established suburb in the western corridor, so we wanted to create a home that both fit within the surroundings and added something special to the area. To that end, Dewar Terrace Haus is our contemporary hat tip to the Queenslander.
No land in well-established areas is going to be perfect, but the opportunity that each block presents is what excites us. We often take on sites that require a considered response, and we embrace the challenges and opportunities this creates. In this case, we made the decision to level the block for a single-storey home.
"We’re really proud of Dewar Terrace Haus and feel it is a beautiful single-storey home without compromise."
