This proposed two-storey dwelling at Glenmore Park is a carefully crafted residential project designed to suit the contemporary needs of a growing family. With a focus on spatial efficiency, architectural elegance, and compliance with planning standards, the home reflects a balanced approach between aesthetic design and practical functionality.

The architectural concept emphasizes open-plan living, natural light optimization, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. On the ground floor, the layout features a large kitchen, family area, dining room, media/lounge room, and a generous alfresco zone perfect for entertaining. The upstairs accommodates four well-sized bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite with a walk-in robe and ensuite, a central rumpus room, and thoughtful skylight placements to enhance daylight penetration.

The residence is not only visually appealing but also performs well in terms of energy efficiency, safety, and regulatory compliance. From sound insulation and fire separation to sustainable landscaping and shadow minimization, every detail has been reviewed and incorporated with care.

This project is a representation of Hothico Architects’ commitment to delivering tailored residential solutions that align with the client’s aspirations while adhering strictly to council guidelines and sustainability standards.
