Building For A View

Considering the outlook from your home and the possibility of beautiful views plays
an important part of the design.
The temptation to fill the walls with floor-to-ceiling glass can be tempting, but what
else can be implemented to make the most out of your property and its surrounds? 

• Layout the building to your site. 
  Would a split level or two-storey home compliment the landscape whilst capturing
  the best outlook?

• Carefully consider outdoor spaces. 
  Integrating the indoors with the outdoors is important, but consider where a balcony
  and alfresco will be placed, make sure it has sufficient privacy and not looking over a
  neighbour’s yard or busy road.

• Will there be spaces in your home to appreciate the view.

• Including showcase windows or cutouts of walls to admire the vista at special
  moments.

• Choose the right roof type. 
  Roof types like Gable, Skillion and Butterfly can add extra height to a wall, the perfect
  excuse for a double-height window.
