A house in Castlemaine for an architect in our office, this small-footprint redevelopment has a focus on an efficient use of space and the introduction of north light 
into the house which has a south facing rear. A typically ad-hock back-end on this 100 year old Victorian cottage is consolidated and a courtyard added to increase the connectivity and light, and to add an indoor-outdoor space.
Welcome to the MARA_house, our architect designed, 8* star rated, high performing, fixed price, healthy and sustainable home.
MARA_HOUSE uses a planning system of pre-designed parts with a layout that is completely customizable. This hugely improves cost efficiency and accuracy, and speeds up design and construction time.
Built-in flexibility means we can optimize a layout for better performance. This greatly increases comfort and reduces running costs. It also means we can adapt to your brief and to suit any site.
Set in the rolling granitic cherry and apple-strewn country of north harcourt and segwick, this house is a big barn, a shed with the roof and cathedral ceilings pulled upwards over a mezzanine area inside. Details »
