This home is small and stylish. It is cosy and compact and celebrates the client’s commitment to living well and responsibly within a small village community. Driven by practical necessity and the desire to live affordably, and nurture her family responsibly, she demanded a home that was tailored to fit the family’s needs and be efficient to heat and cool.


With room to run about in this rural setting, to explore, make and create art, this robust and comfortable home provides a nurturing space to retreat to, and be together, on cold evenings and hot nights. The home is solar passive, easy to keep warm and to ventilate when needed. The house is filled with light, supporting a relaxed and contemporary living style. The construction is robust and restrained and allows for the addition over time of pergolas and other elements to integrate the house into the garden and surrounds.

“I am writing to highly recommend Annie Duke, a sole practitioner and building design consultant, who assisted me with the development of my house plans.
Annie was engaged to take my original house designs and develop them for submission to Council for Development Approval (DA). She also prepared the associated BASIX report. Throughout the process, I found her to be professional, thorough, reliable, and highly attentive to detail.
Annie communicated clearly, responded promptly to queries, and ensured all documentation was compliant and well-prepared. Her pricing was also very reasonable, offering excellent value for the high standard of service delivered.
I have no hesitation in recommending Annie’s services to anyone seeking a skilled and dependable building design consultant.”
