Housing developments often get a pretty bad reputation. The idea of rows of houses that look exactly the same doesn't always conjure images of a fun and interesting neighbourhood, and there's plenty of examples of really boring apartment complexes and bland box houses to back that perception up. Today though we're going to show you a development that is going to force you to completely rethink that prejudice, and show you just how fantastic they can be.

This development made up of duplexes is destined to make a big impact on the area due to its innovative design and stunning facades. Only one of the duplexes is complete, giving us an early look at the amazing homes that will be built along the street, and it looks fantastic. The interior is just as creative as the facade, with unique shapes, a mezzanine level, and really contemporary decor consisting of timber on a neutral white base. So join us as we take a look, and you'll never think of housing developments the same way again!

The facade

The first thing you notice about this home is the interesting contrast of traditional and modern styles. The lower floor features a brick veneer in two contrasting colours to distinguish the separate homes, and a gorgeous wooden slat fence in the garden, giving the home a quaint and traditional vibe. The top floor however is thoroughly contemporary, with a really unique shape that creates a third mezzanine level, and not one but two balconies for every home!

The balcony

The front balcony opens out from the lounge on the second level, and is recessed to protect it from the elements, perfect for enjoying fresh air all year around. The balcony is big enough for a table and chairs for al fresco dining, a really luxurious addition to these fabulous homes.

The colour palette

Most of the home is dominated by the timber flooring and furniture, with a white base that allows the unique form of the home to take centre stage. The main benefit of a neutral colour palette is that it allows for splashes of your favourite vibrant colour, and in this case the designers have opted for a summery orange feature wall that makes a huge impact, and looks great against the timber.

The first floor

On the first floor you'll find the dining room and kitchen. Large glass doors open out onto the garden flooding the room with sunlight. The decor is straightforward and practical, with plenty of room for the tenants to inject their own personality into the interior.

The kitchen

In the kitchen we again find the unique contrast of tradition and modernity that defines this home, with the brick veneer adding an industrial edge to the sleek flat panel cabinets.The kitchen features plenty of storage, crucial for keeping the surfaces free of clutter, as well as a long sectional countertop with lots of space for food preparation.

The second floor

On the second floor you'll find the living room. Again the decor is sparse and simple, allowing the small room to still feel spacious and airy. A huge full wall sliding door opens out onto the balcony meaning you can open this room up even more.

The mezzanine

At the top floor you'll find the mezzanine level. While a skylight ensures that there's always plenty of sunlight, wooden posts mark the boundary allowing more light in from the lower level. The options for this top floor are endless, it would be just as great as a playroom for the kids or as an office space for adults, or alternately you could just throw a couple of cushions down for a fantastic chill out zone.

This home is really amazing, and if it hasn't changed your mind about housing developments nothing will! For another small but super functional home, check out this article!
