The living zone occupies the heart of the plan beneath high gabled ceilings that lift the space beyond its footprint. Bench height windows above the kitchen splashback flood the work area with light while maintaining privacy from neighbouring properties. The detail seems minor. Living beneath it reveals otherwise.

A covered outdoor area extends the interior toward the garden. The space works as alfresco dining, as a second living room during temperate months, as the kind of threshold between inside and out that Queensland living demands.

The Cove suits families who need three bedrooms and a garage but refuse to accept that these requirements mean surrendering architectural ambition. It suits narrow inner city lots, coastal sites where land is expensive and footprints are restricted, anywhere that a standard project home does not fit and something considered is required instead.

Street presence matters. The Cove 135 has it. The gabled roofline reads confidently against the sky. The facade holds its own in any streetscape.

A family home for people who want their address to mean something.
